The Siena Saints (3-2) take on the Brown Bears (4-3) Saturday at 4 p.m in Philadelphia. This will be the team’s final game in the Philly Hoop Group Classic.

The Saints are coming off a nine point loss to St. John’s University. Although they jumped out to a halftime lead, the players appeared to struggle against St. John’s half court zone defense and weren’t able to consistently make 3-pointers. Moore briefly left the game with an ankle injury, which hopefully won’t have lingering affects. Rossiter continued his offensive presence with another 20+ scoring effort. Siena will need to combat their fatigue, as this will be the team’s first time playing on consecutive days this season.

The Bears are lead by junior forward Matt Mullery who is averaging nearly 16 ppg. He has been supported by the Sullivan brothers, Peter and Matt, who are second and third on the team in scoring. Brown has seemed to be a very streaky team first losing three in a row, before going on a three game winning steak. They have one thing in common with the Saints; a loss to St. John’s (79-76).

The Delaware game proved Siena is able to bounce back strong after a loss. Brown doesn’t have the players of a St. John’s or a Temple, but are capable of hanging around with more talented teams. If Moore’s injury isn’t anything significant and the team is able to rediscover its shooting groove the Saints should be successful.
