Ten things you need to know in Siena's game vs. Marist:
-           The Saints are set to be either the 6th or 7th seed in the upcoming MAAC Championship. With a win, the Saints will wrap up the 6 seed, while a loss will make their situation a little more complicated, having a potential coin flip determine their seed along with the Iona Gaels depending on results around the league prior to their game Saturday night.
-           If the Saints fall to Marist, they would need a Saint Peter's victory over Iona to pull the teams into a tie for 6th. Based on the two teams records against the teams ahead of them, a coin flip would determine the outcome. If Iona were to beat Saint Peter's, Siena would be locked into the 7th seed.
-           In the current scenario, the Saints would play at 11:30 AM on Tuesday if they were the 7 seed, and would play at 1:30 PM on Tuesday if they end up as the 6 seed.
-           Siena has fallen in the last five matchups against the Red Foxes, with their last win coming back on Jam. 18, 2018 at the Times Union Center.
-           The Saints last matchup against the Red Foxes came at the Times Union Center earlier this season. Despite the loss and halftime lead, the Saints set marks for their longest run of the season (23-0 run) as well as their largest deficit overcome (15 points) in the game before the Red Foxes pulled back away in the second half.
-           Senior Sabrina Piper is currently approaching 1,000 career points, standing at five total points until the landmark. The Paris, France native has the chance to be Siena's 29th player on the list. She will be the latest since both Kollyns Scarbrough and current Director of Basketball Operations Meghan Donohue each eclipsed the mark in 2016-17. Piper has collected over 40 games of double-digit scoring in her career.
-           With her appearance against Fairfield on Jan. 2, Piper also eclipsed the 100 games mark for her career. Her appearance on Saturday night will tie her for fifth all-time on the games played list. Her first round game at the MAAC Championship will give her sole possession of fifth, as she passes former teammate Deja Rawls for the spot.
-           Piper has only missed one game in her four-year career at Siena, earning a DNP (Coaches' discretion) at UAlbany her freshman season.
-           Sophomore Lala Watts ranks first in the MAAC in blocked shots, currently averaging 2.2 blocks per game. She is the only play in the MAAC averaging over two blocks per game, as Saint Peter's Zoe Pero ranks second with a 1.6 blocks per game average. Watts' 60 blocked shots rank 26th in the NCAA, while her 2.2 blocks per game also ranks 28th in the country.
-           Sophomore Margo Peterson scored a team-high 25 points in a win over Saint Peter's back in Feb. 22. The scoring performance was the highest points total of any Saint this season, topping Sabrina Piper's 24 points which she did twice (11/16 vs. Sacred Heart, 1/6 at Saint Peter's)
