Siena's men's basketball team will play Union on Saturday, November 8 at 7 p.m. in an exhibition game on UHY Court at the Alumni Recreation Center. A limited number of general admission tickets priced at $20 for adults and $10 for children 14 and under, will go on-sale Monday to current season ticket holders at 5:30 p.m. during the annual Siena Sneak Preview event at Times Union Center.

It marks the first Siena men's basketball game open to the general public at Alumni Recreation Center in over 10 years. The Saints defeated Korabel-Ukraine 84-68 on Nov. 6, 1998 in the last public exhibition on campus.

Siena and Union have not played since the Saints turned Division I. The Saints (then Indians) won the last meeting between the two schools 69-64 during the 1975-76 season and hold a 4-3 all-time series advantage.

The game is being played in Alumni Recreation Center to help finance the Saints' summer trip to Italy. No further men's basketball games are scheduled to be played on campus.

Fans unable to purchase tickets at Monday's Sneak Preview may do so at SienaSaints.com beginning on Friday, September 26 while supplies last.
