LAST GAME VS. THE SAINTS
MU wraps up its regular season meetings with its third MAAC foe, already completing a split with Iona and a loss at Niagara in the lone game the two will play. Monmouth topped Siena in overtime at the Times Union Center earlier this month, 63-60, behind 16 Deion Hammond points, 14 and nine rebounds from Diago Qunn and six points, eight rebounds and four steals from Nick Rutherford. 

QUINN MOVES UP THE BLOCK CHARTS

OVERTIME GAMES
Both of the last two games the Hawks have played Siena have gone to overtime. In the last two seasons, Monmouth has played five overtime games, with four of them ending in a different number of sessions. MU played Penn to four overtimes and Siena to three last season, before beating Penn in a single OT earlier this year and playing double overtime at Quinnipiac. MU beat Siena in OT to move to 3-2 in league play.

QUINN MOVES UP THE GAMES PLAYED LIST
Diago Quinn has played in 122 career games, tying him with Dejan Delic for 10th all time. Quinn is on pace to play in at least 132 games, which would tie him with former teammate Austin Tilghman for second all time. Chris Brady holds Monmouth's all-time games played mark with 135 in four seasons, having never missed a contest.
