After being fouled by Harris Mansell while attempting a 3, Tay Fisher hit all three free throws to make it 37-26 with 3:31 left. 

If this keeps up, Siena is 20 minutes way from the Big Dance and barring an unexpected NIT bid, Rider is 20 minutes from elimination. 

Mike Ringgold scored in traffic and was fouled with 3:10 left, but to the surprise of no one, he missed the free throw. 

Fisher finally missed  shot on the Saints' ensuing possession. 

Next, Jason Thompson was fouled on the floor. He went to the line to shoot 1-and-1, but for some reason, no Rider players lined up on the blocks. 

Ronald Moore then scored on back-to-back possessions and Fisher -- that man again -- got defensive rebounds on consecutive possessions. 

Jason Thompson finally stopped the bleeding with a baby hook in the lane to make it 41-30 with 13 seconds left. 

Ronald Moore missed a fade-away baseline jumper at the buzzer, so the Saints lead by 11 at the half. 

Per custon, the Siena band played "when the Saints go marching in" as the teams trotted off the court.
