Game Preview
The Saints (18-9, 11-5 MAAC) are in the mix of competing for the regular-season title, sitting at third place behind Saint Peter’s and Merrimack. They’ve gone 7-2 in their last nine games, recently taking down Marist on Feb. 15. Gavin Doty leads the unit with averages of 17.1 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. On another note, Justice Shoats comes next as another key factor in the matchup with 13.5 points and 4.5 assists per contest.
The Warriors (18-9, 14-2 MAAC) are closing in on the MAAC regular-season title, currently holding the top spot in the league standings. Merrimack can clinch at least a share of the regular season title with a victory coupled with a Saint Peter’s loss. Kevair Kennedy is on pace for the conference’s Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year honors with his performances as the team’s top star. He is second in the league in scoring in all games at 17.7 points per game. He also leads Merrimack and is 4th in the conference in assists (4.1 apg) and ranks 4th in the league in steals (2.0 spg).
Siena vs Merrimack Head-to-Head
The two programs have had two meetings in their history, and the result is 2-0 for the Warriors. The last matchup was in January this year when Saint Peter’s won 63-59 on the road.
Siena vs Merrimack Predictions
This game has significant consequences on the regular-season title race. Merrimack holds the upper hand with the top spot as Siena tries to catch up from the third seed. The Saints have a remarkably solid record on the road with a 9-5 display, which gives them a chance in this duel. However, if they can’t keep Kevair Kennedy in check, the Warriors can start preparing themselves as the probably MAAC champions. Our betting pick here is the Warriors to defend a 3.5-point spread.
