Now the Bulldogs are back home where they are 12-4-1 ATS their last 17 games. Also, Yale has covered five of its last seven non-conference games and four of its last five overall going back to last season. Siena has split its four games and comes off a 59-56 loss to Harvard and the Saints also had an earlier 18-point loss at Xavier while beating American and St. Bonaventure.
