BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — Brett Bisping and Rob Poole scored 19 points apiece as Siena used a strong second half to come back and beat Fairfield 64-56 on Sunday.

Bisping made 7-of-11 shots and Poole connected on all 10 of his free-throw attempts for Siena (9-12, 5-5 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference). Poole also grabbed five rebounds and made four steals for the Saints.

Maurice Barrow led Fairfield (4-17, 1-9) with 15 points and Justin Jenkins added 13.
