Here's 10 things to know about the Saints heading into Saturday's game:

1) Marquis Wright has scored 20 points or more in two of Siena's three games this year. Wright scored 20 or more points just three times in his first two seasons (69 games).
2) Siena placed four players in double figures for the second time this season in Friday night's win. Javion Ogunyemi recorded the team's first double-double of the season with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
3) Siena bridged the first and second half with a game-changing 17-1 run in Friday night's win. The game was tied at 23-23 with 3:35 left in the first half before the explosive spurt. Siena made its first five shots of the second half and shot 65% from the field after intermission.
4) Lavon Long is shooting 55% from the field and has reached double figures in all three games this season. Long has reached double figures 39 times in 68 career games played.
5) Siena out-rebounded Radford 45-31 and grabbed an astounding 30 boards in the first half. Five Siena players are averaging at least four boards per game, led by Ogunyemi's seven per game.
6) Kenny Wormley got his first collegiate start yesterday. Wormely started at point guard, allowing Wright to move off the ball to guard against early foul trouble and take advantage of his hot hand. Wormely turned the ball over just once in 20 minutes played. Siena used 13 different starting lineups last season.
7) The Saints are shooting just 25% from three-point range this season, but they've limited the opposition to 24.5%. After making 7-16 threes in the season-opening loss at Duke, Siena has gone 5-32 from distance the last two games.
8) Siena made 22-25 free throws in Friday's night's win, upping their season percentage to 73% from the line. Wright, Long and Brett Bisping are the only Saints to have 10 attempts or more from the line this year, and each is shooting 80% or better.
9) Jimmy Patsos limited his rotation Friday night, as just seven players logged double digit minutes. Imoh Silas saw the most action he has all season, logging 13 minutes. Silas had three points, three rebounds and a block.
10) Siena concludes its season-long (opening) five-game road-trip Tuesday at Bucknell. The Saints don't play more than two consecutive road games the rest of the year. Siena's home opener is Saturday at noon against Loyola.
