Siena (4-25, 3-15) seeks to end its home slate on a high note and build momentum into next week's MAAC Tournament which tips off on Tuesday in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Giovanni Emejuru has thrived at MVP Arena this season for the Saints, where he's averaged 13.7 points and 7.5 rebounds while shooting 60% from the field. Moreover, Mason Courtney has come on strong down the stretch, averaging 10.1 points and 3.8 assists while sporting a 2.56 assist-to-turnover ratio spanning the past six games overall.
 
Niagara (14-14, 10-8) enters play having dropped three straight on the heels of winning four of their previous five. The Purple Eagles are an impressive 7-1 in MAAC road games, with their only setback coming in their most recent road tilt in the "Battle of the Bridge" at Canisius. While Siena is assured of being seeded either 10^th or 11^th in the MAAC Tournament, Niagara enters the final week of regular season action still with a shot to be seeded anywhere from 2-8.
 
The Saints are in search of their first regular season series sweep of the Purple Eagles in five years following their 93-88 victory on Jan. 15 on Monteagle Ridge. Siena erupted for 60 second half points on 70% shooting in an historic win. The Saints lead the all-time series 59-52, including 15-7 spanning the past 22 meetings. Siena has won 16 of the last 19 matchups in Albany.
