Surging Saints move back into first, lock up tournament bye

by Siena College Athletics / Feb 26, 2020

HAMDEN, CT – Siena Basketball surged back into a tie for first place in the MAAC Standings and clinched a First Round bye in the upcoming conference tournament with an 84-77 victory over Quinnipiac at the People's United Center. Manny Camper posted his 13th double-double with 19 points and 14 rebounds for the red-hot Saints who've won nine of 10 and extended the program's longest winning streak in a decade to six straight.

Camper, whose now averaging 15.2 points in four career games vs. Quinnipiac (12-15, 7-10), and Jalen Pickett, whose totaled 88 points in his three contests, continued to terrorize the Bobcats. Pickett scored 14 of his 17 points in the first half and finished 5-8 from three while adding five assists for Siena (16-10, 12-5) who pulled even once again with idle Saint Peter's for the top spot in the MAAC, with both teams now having three games left apiece.

Rich Kelly scored 19 of his game-high 26 points in the second half as the MAAC's top three-point shooter shot 5-8 from distance for Quinnipiac who was in first place when the team's first met exactly one month ago, but has now slipped to ninth following their seventh defeat in their last eight games. The nation's leading rebounder Kevin Marfo contributed his conference-high 16th double-double of the season for the Bobcats with 14 points and 11 rebounds to go along with eight assists and three blocks.

Siena shot 51% from the field including 10-18 (56%) from three as the MAAC's top scoring offense posted its highest output in a month. The Saints had averaged 66.0 points over their first five games during their win streak, as the defense had taken lead billing.

Siena rattled off an early 16-3 run to build a double digit lead at 21-11 less than eight minutes into the contest. Pickett punctuated the run scoring 12 of the points on a quartet of threes. The Saints led by as many as 13 points in the first half, and took a 48-39 lead at the break. Siena shot 56% in the opening half and held a 14-2 advantage in points off turnovers while adding 12 fast break points in a fast-paced stanza.

But Quinnipiac, who shot 14-28 from three-point range, hung around. Entering the contest ranked seventh nationally averaging 10.1 threes per game, the Bobcats used the three ball to rally back and draw even at 55-all with 14:05 to go.

But once again the Saints buckled down late on the road to post their third victory in their last four contests away from home. Siena responded with a decisive 15-2 run over 5:37 to reclaim a 70-57 lead with 7:49 remaining. Quinnipiac made one final push to get back within as close as four with 2:41 to play, but the Saints made their free throws down the stretch to hold on and secure the regular season series sweep of the Bobcats.

Donald Carey (18 points) and Elijah Burns (10) rounded out a quartet of double figure scorers for Siena. Freshman reserve Jordan King provided another big boost off the bench with nine points on a trio of threes for a second straight game, while pacing the Saints with a team-high plus-minus of plus-16 in 24 minutes of action.

Quinnipiac also placed four in double figures as Jacob Rigoni and Tyrese Williams added 12 points apiece.

Siena will look to complete a sweep of its three-game road trip Friday night in Poughkeepsie with a 7 p.m. showdown at Marist.

Men’s basketball falls at UMass Lowell 88-69

by UAlbany Athletics / Feb 26, 2020

Lowell, Mass. (NEWS10) -- Playing in their second-to-last road game of the regular season, the University at Albany men's basketball team visited UMass Lowell Wednesday looking to snap a two-game losing streak. After trailing by four at the break, UAlbany saw UMass Lowell pull away in the second half to fall for the third game in a row, 88-69.

UMass Lowell scored the first four points of the game before UAlbany got on the board. Sasha French, making his second-consecutive start, dunked off a setup from Ahmad Clark with 18:15 left in the first.

Clark hit a layup with 14:06 to go to cut UMass Lowell's lead to 10-8, before the Riverhawks responded with a three to go back up by five. On UAlbany's next possession, Antonio Rizzuto hit a three to cut the lead back to two.

With 10:34 let in the first, Trey Hutcheson hit a layup to tie the game at 19. UMass Lowell responded with a 7-0 run to take a 26-19 lead with 8:56 to go before the break. Four quick points from Clark and French brought UAlbany back within three before UMass Lowell briefly pulled away again, leading 28-23 with 7:41 to go.

A layup from Malachi de Sousa one minute later cut UMass Lowell's lead to one. Over the next five minutes, the Riverhawks slowly built a six-point lead, with just over one minute remaining in the first half.

The Riverhawks took a four-point, 39-35 lead into halftime. Clark shared the game lead with 12 points in the first half, while dishing five assists. UAlbany had shot 51.6% overall, but just 1-9 from three. UMass Lowell shot 50.0%, hitting four of seven threes but just five of 11 free throws. UAlbany had outscored UMass Lowell 28-20 in the paint, but the Riverhawks held a 9-2 advantage in second-chance points.

UMass Lowell opened the second half on a 7-2 run to take a 46-37 lead with 18:33 remaining. Rizzuto hit another three to cut the lead back to six. Clark soon brought UAlbany within five with a pair of free throws to make the game 47-42, but that is as close as the Danes would get to the lead for the rest of the night.

UMass Lowell went on a 10-1 run to lead 57-43 with 14:13 to go. The Riverhawks had taken their first double-digit lead during the run, when America East leading scorer Christian Lutete knocked down a three to put Lowell up 54-42.

UAlbany managed to close within nine with 11:27 remaining, but by the mid-way point of the second, UMass Lowell's lead had grown back to 14. The Riverhawks would ultimately lead by as many as 20 before sealing the wire-to-wire victory by 19, 88-69.

Clark finished with a game-high 23 points and added seven assists, while Rizzuto hit from three five times to finish with 15 points. Most of Wednesday night's scoring came in the paint, with the Riverhawks holding a 52-40 advantage. UAlbany finished shooting just over 50% from the floor, but UMass Lowell shot 66.7% in the second half, seeing five players score in double-figures, to outscore UAlbany by 15 after halftime.
