ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Kenny Hasbrouck scored 20 points to lead Siena to an 82-52 victory over Boise State on Monday night.
At halftime, the Saints (1-0) raised their 2008 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championship banner at the Times Union Center.
Siena led the entire game in a rematch of Siena’s 23-point road win last season. The Saints led by as many as 34 points in posting the program’s second-largest season-opening win in its time as a Division I program, trailing only a 110-46 win over East Stroudsburg in 1984-85.
The Saints took a 15-5 lead on a jumper by Edwin Ubiles with 13:34 left in the first half. Siena closed the half with a 27-13 run for a 47-28 lead.
Ubiles was one of six who scored eight points.
Mark Sanchez had 14 points for Boise State (1-1), which shot 34.6 percent from the field, including 2-of-17 from 3-point range.
Oakland .......................82
Oregon ........................ 79
Johnathon Jones scored a career-high 32 points, including 10 in overtime, to lead Oakland of Michigan to an 82-79 victory over Oregon.
Erik Kangas added 18 points for the Golden Grizzlies (1-1), who ended the Ducks’ (1-1) 16-game winning streak at McArthur Court.
Jones made 13 of 23 shots including a baseline fade-away jumper over Oregon’s Drew Wiley with eight seconds left in OT to put his team up 82-77.
