Ten things you need to know in Siena's game vs. Iona:
-           Siena's one loss in the previous five matchups was their latest, as they Gaels knocked the Saints out of the 2019 MAAC Tournament in the opening round by a 75-64 final.
-           In their last 10 matchups, the Saints have edged the Gaels 6-4 in those games.
-           The Saints have a 17.0 average margin of victory over the Gaels in their four wins prior to their loss in the MAAC Tournament last season.
-           This matchup between the Gaels and Saints will be the latest point in any season they will face off in either program's history. The previous late date for games between these two would come on Feb. 18 four times, with the last matchup coming back in 1995-96. The other previous years were 1992-93, 1980-81, and 1979-80. Thursday's matchup will set the new "record" by two days.
-           Dating back to last season, the Saints are 0-4 in their last four games at the Times Union Center. That streak extended out with a loss to Marist on Sunday afternoon despite a lead at halftime.
-           The Saints had a five-game winning streak snapped by Rider last Thursday night. The Saints had defeated Monmouth, Niagara, and Canisius in three straight games, all at home. Then the Saints topped Manhattan and Quinnipiac on the road before getting the streak snapped by the Broncs.
-           Prior to their loss to the Broncs on Thursday, the Saints were coming off their first-ever victory as a program over the Quinnipiac Bobcats by a final score of 68-60. The Green and Gold defeated the Bobcats on the road in Hamden, and would be the first win in program history over the program in 15 tires.
-           Sophomore Lala Watts has now entered the Top 10 list for blocked shots in a single season.  She is currently tied for third all-time with Gunta Basko's 2001-02 season total with 49. She is two blocks away from pulling into a tie with Serena Moore's
-           In addition, Watts ranks first in the MAAC in blocked shots, currently averaging 2.1 blocks per game. She is the only play in the MAAC averaging over two blocks per game, as Rider's Amari Johnson ranks second with 36 total blocks and a 1.6 blocks per game average. Watts' 49 blocked shots rank 32nd in the NCAA, while her 2.1 blocks per game ranks 32nd in the country.
-           Head Coach Ali Jaques needs just eight more wins to top former head coach Joe Hogan to become the second most winningest coach in program history.
