When it comes to scheduling, Siena men's basketball coach Nevada Smith isn't playing it safe in his first season.
The Saints on Thursday announced a nonleague schedule that includes guarantee games at Dayton of the Atlantic 10 on Nov. 10 and Big East members St. John's on Nov. 18 and Seton Hall on Nov. 28.
"Love it," Smith said. "We've got monster games on it. We have no bad teams. Our strength of schedule's going to be high. The three buy games are awesome for us."
With Thursday's announcement, Siena completed its 32-game 2026-27 schedule. The Metro Conference announced the 20-game league schedule earlier this month. The NCAA approved an increase from 31 to 32 regular-season games for the upcoming season.
As previously reported, Siena will open the regular season at Bryant Nov. 2. Then, the Saints will play their home opener against traditional Ivy League power Princeton on Nov. 8 at MVP Arena. The Tigers are coming off a rare bad year at 9-20.
