The two most storied men's basketball programs in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference history enter the Saturday matinee in a four-way logjam for fourth place in the league standings. Siena (9-10, 4-4) took care of business to begin the long weekend with an 82-68 victory over Mount St. Mary's Thursday night, and are now in search of their first MAAC weekend sweep of the season. Meanwhile Iona (7-12, 4-4) is seeking its first three-game win streak of the season following back-to-back wins over Canisius and Rider.
 
The Gaels edged the Saints 74-73 in the first meeting between the teams just 20 days ago in Albany. Adam Njie was awarded the decisive free throw for Iona with just 2.7 seconds remaining in a sloppy, physical affair which featured 49 combined turnovers and 47 personal fouls.
