Siena was down to seven scholarship players available to play by Thursday and was especially depleted in the frontcourt. Its starting center entering the season, Tasman Goodrick, has been out since December with a knee injury. Another key frontcourt player, Antonio Chandler, was ruled ineligible by the NCAA just prior to the MAAC tournament after uncovering an issue with his eligibility clock. Deep down the bench, 6' 8" Tajae Jones hasn’t played since November and is expected to redshirt. The Saints’ two starting frontcourt players, Folefac and Mulvey, had played monster minute loads in the MAAC tournament because of it, including each putting in a marathon 40 minutes in the MAAC title game against Merrimack. This wasn’t foreign to them, and McNamara had proof of concept that it could work.

The two remaining available reserves were a pair of freshmen: 5' 11" Christian Jones and 6' 6" Isaiah Henderson, both perimeter players. Neither has lit it up in their limited action: Jones shot 32% from the field on the season, Henderson just 35%.
