Siena Receiving High Marks


A lot of noise has been made about the Siena Saints early on. ESPN's Andy Katz has mentioned them in two of his pre-season articles. Katz, as most of the country, has Siena ranked in the Top 25. Katz has the Saints as high as 20, although the official rankings have not come out yet. Siena, just like the Huskies, has 4 out of their 5 starters returning this season. The Saints are coming off an NCAA Tournament season in which they won their first round game for the second year in a row. It will be very interesting when the Huskies and Saints face off in Albany just 49 days from now on November 17 at 12 p.m. on ESPN. Undoubtedly, this will be a tough game for the Huskies. But having won 11 road games last year, including wins on the road against Big East and Big Ten opponents, the Huskies are certainly ready for the challenge.
