Siena (3-13, 2-3) returns to the Capital Region to begin a stretch where they play five of their next seven at MVP Arena, looking to build upon their momentum from the end of the Western New York trip. The Saints achieved numerous season-highs on the offensive end in their 93-88 victory at Niagara Monday, fueled by a collegiate career-high 36-point performance from
Sean Durugordon. The dynamic standout, who has become the first player in the program's Division I history with six straight 20-plus point performances to begin his Siena career, is averaging a whopping 25.8 points to go along with 8.8 rebounds and three double-doubles.

Meanwhile, Quinnipiac (12-4, 4-1) concludes a stretch where they play five of seven outside of M&T Bank Arena. The Bobcats, who enter play winners of five of their last six, rank ninth nationally in free throw percentage (.781) while also leading the MAAC in scoring (77.8), assists (14.7), rebound margin (+5.1), and blocks (4.1). Point guard Savion Lewis ranks second nationally, averaging 7.6 assists per game.

Siena leads the all-time series with their decade-long MAAC foes, 13-8. The Saints have won five of the past seven meetings, and have averaged 81.0 points spanning their last eight matchups with the Bobcats. Â
