Not an amazing game offensively for the Saints but Ronald Moore makes HUGE shots to beat the Buckeyes.

#9 Siena shot 33% from the field, their lowest percentage of the season. Siena‘s 51 rebounds are a season high, 21 of those being offensive rebounds which is also a season high.

Alex Franklin (10 pts, 13 rebs) and Ryan Rossiter (16 pts, 15 rebs) both delivered double doubles and Rossiter hit all 6 of his free throws down the stretch. Evan Turner finished with 25 points to lead the Buckeyes.

Siena turned it over 21 times, more than #8 Ohio State‘s 19, but the Saints were able to make critical shots down the stretch late in this ballgame. All five starters scored in double figures and Moore made his only two three point field goals in the overtime periods.

Someone doubted, but there’s no doubt this is one of the best games of all time for the Siena program.

This is Siena’s 2nd straight tournament appearance, first time the Saints made consecutive appearances. Siena is now 4-4 all time in the NCAA Tournament. Siena will play #1 seed Louisville Sunday at 5:20. More to come…
