Siena (12-6, 6-1) returns to the Capital Region looking to bounce back from their first conference setback of the season. The Saints saw their season-long seven-game winning streak – which included a four-game road win streak – snapped with a 66-62 defeat Sunday at Canisius.
 
Siena returns to the friendly confines of MVP Arena where they are 5-1, and have won four straight. The Saints enter the weekend alone in first place atop the MAAC Standings, a full game clear of second-place Iona.
 
First-year MAAC member Mount St. Mary's (6-12, 2-5) has dropped six of seven, while averaging just 57.7 points during that span. However, the Mount has been without two of its top-three scorers in Jalen Benjamin (14.3) and leading rebounder Malik Jefferson (9.7) recently. Tonight's contest marks the Mountaineers' lone road game during a six-game stretch.
 
Siena has won all four previous meetings with the Mount, three of which have come by just five points or less. The program's meet for the first time in a dozen years since the Saints prevailed 65-53 on Nov. 19, 2011 in Emmitsburg, Maryland behind a 30-point performance from then-freshman Evan Hymes.
