March 16, 201016 yr But who have they played or beat ? they won the Ivey league and their only win over a Ncaa Team is over Vermont a 16 seed :idunno: They did hang with Kansas, but so did plenty of teams.
March 16, 201016 yr They did hang with Kansas, but so did plenty of teams. :thumb: Kansas was in a lull at that point. They played several close games, but they closed the season strong. I doubt Cornell would have challenged Kansas in February.
March 16, 201016 yr I think Murray St. has a shot to beat Vandy, but I'm hesitant to pick them to win.
March 16, 201016 yr I really like the Murray/Vandy game, and also think the SMC/Richmond game will be a dandy. I really like Spiders, and from what I saw of SMC against Gonzaga, they have some nice ingredients. Now on to the Siena love fest, apparently I'm missing something. I know Purdue is hurting but what have the Saints done to make me believe they will beat the Boilers? Sure, 20-1 is impressive in any conference but aside from a four point loss to Temple they have pretty much been raked by "bigger" named teams. 11-21 at Temple 29-5 (17-2) 8 69-73 L 11-27 vs St. John's 17-15 (7-13) 78 68-77 L 12-02 at Georgia Tech 21-12 (10-10) 33 61-74 L 12-12 at Northern Iowa 28-4 (18-3) 17 65-82 L 02-20 at Butler 28-4 (20-0) 11 53-70 L Recent history? They've won their first round game each of the last two seasons, beating Ohio State and Vandy. They've proven they can win in the Big Dance as a double digit seeded mid-major.
