what to know
The American Eagles have the luxury of staying home another game and will welcome the Siena Saints at 1 pm ET Dec. 22 at Bender Arena. The Eagles are out to keep their three-game home win streak alive.
The VMI Keydets typically have all the answers at home, but last Tuesday American proved too difficult a challenge. American took their contest against VMI 69-61.
Meanwhile, the St. Bonaventure Bonnies typically have all the answers at home, but on Monday Siena proved too difficult a challenge. Siena secured a 76-70 W over the Bonnies. The Saints got double-digit scores from four players: guard Javian McCollum (23), forward Jackson Stormo (14), guard Andrew Platek (11), and guard Michael Eley (10).
The wins brought the Eagles up to 8-2 and Siena to 6-5. A couple of stats to keep an eye on: American ranks 31st in college basketball when it comes to field goal percentage, with 48.90% on the season. Less enviably, Siena has allowed their opponents to shoot 47.40% from the floor on average, which is the sixth highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball.
