Saints Look To Rebound From Heartbreaker
LOUDONVILLE — Siena Saints men’s basketball and head coach Jimmy Patsos look to recover from a tough Quinnipiac loss when they go up against St. Peter’s today.
In the Saints’ most recent loss, Quinnipiac took 65 free throws, making 47 of them, as six Siena players fouled out and a late lead was blown before faltering in overtime. Giving up the 65 free throw attempts tied a Division I record.
The Saints (6-6 MAAC, 10-13) were eyeing a four-game winning streak when they held a three-point lead with just over 30 seconds left in the game before giving up a three-point play that tied the game at 85 apiece.
It was also the first time the Saints gave up 100 points since 2009 against Niagara.
Siena is set to tip off against St. Peter’s in Jersey City, New Jersey at 7 p.m.
