YTD 3-0
Nailed the season opener for Siena by taking them against American, and I think it can happen again here tonight against Xavier. Siena had a easy game a few days ago and they used that 54 point half to breeze past. Jalen Pickett actually came off the bench in that game due to violation of team rules and still put up 22 points. Elijah Burns, the graduate transfer out of Norte Dame, put up 19 points with 9 rebounds while Don scored 17 points, and Siena kicked off the season just like those who’ve been following them over the summer thought they would. Maciarello, new head coach, came out and said he has “high expectations” from his team for this game and that as long as they show up defensively they can put up a fight, since scoring won’t be as much of an issue for Siena as it has been in the years past due to all of these key additions this year. Xavier played all right last game, they got off to a huge lead in the beginning of the second half but then started slipping up A bit defensively and allowed that lead to get from 30 to 14 points. I think Siena has the right pieces to put up a fight in this one and I think they will do so. I am taking them at +20.5. Good luck
I believe Siena is flying under the radar a little bit to begin the season, and 20 is just too much against a gritty Saints squad.
