Niagara (12-9, 7-5) at Siena (15-8, 9-3) – 2:00 PM ET (ESPN+)
Today’s UTR Game of the Day goes to the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference where the Niagara Purple Eagles head east on the New York Thruway to take on the Siena Saints. There have been both prolonged winning and losing streaks for Niagara this year; they have had a 4-game winning streak, a 4-game losing streak and 2 3-game winning streaks (and a few travel delays/postponements mixed in). Jacco Fritz had 11 points and 9 rebounds in Niagara’s last outing – a 76-73 win against crosstown rival Canisius.
Siena is tied with Rider for first place in the conference as of today; they are also a half game ahead of Iona thanks to their dominant home win against the Gaels just 9 days earlier. However, a 71-66 loss at Manhattan dropped the Saints from sole possession of first place. Jackson Stormo averages 13.8 points a game and 5.5 rebounds a game for Siena.
