Siena men's basketball team is counting on its exhibition game against Syracuse at MVP Arena in Albany on October 18 to sharpen its readiness for the regular-season home opener against Princeton. The Saints hosted the Orange in a preseason tune-up at the downtown arena, using the occasion to evaluate rotations and build chemistry ahead of the non-conference matchup with the Tigers.
The program, covered by Mark Singelais of the Times Union, views the exhibition as a valuable benchmark before the official start of the 2026-27 campaign. Siena aims to translate lessons from the Syracuse scrimmage into a strong showing when Princeton visits for the home opener.
