Siena vs Bryant Prediction

I’ll lean toward Bryant but I could go either way. The Bulldogs should have a roster that’s more suited to their strengths this year. Bryant attempted the 78th-most 3-pointers per game (26.2) last season but only made them at a .304 clip, which was 336th in the nation. If all goes well, a top-four regular-season finish in the conference isn’t out of the question.

As for Siena, it’ll be interesting to see what the team looks like during this rebuild process. Coyle will provide a nice initial piece. Despite a cold stretch midseason, Coyle finished pretty strong. He’ll pair well with Pace Prosser (18.6 PPG at Division II Gannon) and the team will have a promising base of six incoming freshmen as well.

Siena Saints Betting Preview

Siena had a pretty nice season in 2025-26. The Saints managed to power out a 23-12 overall record and a 13-7 run in the Metro Atlantic Athletic. Siena finished behind only Merrimack and Saint Peter’s in the standings, then took out Mount St. Mary’s, Fairfield and Merrimack in the conference tourney for a championship. Siena lost to Duke in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament following a double-digit first-half lead, though.

That NCAA Tournament team has been pretty much wiped out though, as head coach Gerry McNamara returned to Syracuse and Siena has just one starter left from that squad. In comes first-year head coach Nevada Smith, who has a history at Marquette and Texas. The good news is that Smith will get senior forward Brendan Coyle (8.7 PPG) back in the fold.

Bryant Bulldogs Betting Preview

Over on the Bryant side, they didn’t have a great campaign last season. The Bulldogs would go just 9-22 overall with a 5-11 run in the America East Conference during the 2025-26 year. Only New Hampshire and Binghamton finished lower in the standings. Bryant lost five of their final six games down the stretch and were bounced by Vermont in the first game of the conference tournament.

This year the Bulldogs will have two starters returning in head coach Jamion Christian’s second year. Ty Tabales managed 9.1 PPG as a freshman but he’ll have to work on his 3-point shooting (.264) this year. Another returning veteran is Keegan Harvey, who managed 11.2 PPG and 4.9 RPG a season ago.
