Manhattan enters the matchup looking to snap a four-game skid after a 71-60 loss at Rider on Thursday. The Jaspers are 5-17 overall and 5-8 in MAAC play.

Manhattan ranks last in the MAAC in three-point shooting (25%) and ninth in scoring defense, allowing 65.5 points per game.
Siena leads the all-time series 50-28 entering the 79th meeting between the programs. The teams have split the last 10 matchups dating back to the 2019-20 season, with Siena holding a 3-2 mark at home during that span. The rivalry has been tight on the scoreboard, with the average final score over the last 10 meetings nearly even: Siena 60.8, Manhattan 60.4.
Manhattan won the most recent meeting, 62-43, in last season's regular-season finale on March 8, 2025, at the UHY Center.
