I loved it
Best of all, I am already at home from the championship. It’s been a fantastic weekend. I’ll have a wrap post tomorrow.

They should have the Boilers shown....
…in Robbie’s hospital room when we’re announced.

Yeah Tmill
I both envied you and pitied you yesterday. The envy for obvious reasons- being a part of something so cool- the pity for not being able to run and hide after the game. Way to man up and stick it out.
Thank you.
My mother kept calling me to ask where I was and going nuts when she said I was on TV. Honestly, it was freaking amazing to be so close. The only way I would have been closer would have been to sit in Wohlford’s lap on the bench.

It doesn't matter where they send us
It all ends in Indy

What would be better, high 4 or low 3?
Hard to say. I’d love to play Duke in the sweet sixteen though. We will get matched up as a 4 with Kansas though. Wherever we are, probably Kansas is in our bracket.
I still say three
although I am liking the fours that have us with Syracuse.

the play a zone
and we can’t shoot. not a good matchup
So Duke gets the other #1
Fair assessment, I think. At least its not West Virginia

They're not the 3rd best team in the country though.

Hate to say this but....
Not against a 16 or 8 seed. They will be outed probably by the 2 seed in their bracket.
They have to play outside of NC
I’ll take my chances with someone knocking them off before the Elite 8
Lord, jager me strength.
by doublegoldandblack on Mar 14, 2010 6:06 PM EDT up reply actions
1 seeds
kansas, kentucky, duke, syracuse
midwest, east, south, west
1, 2, 3, 4
I'm comforted to think that...
out of 65 teams, 64 of them will also be losers.
I think it would be hilarious
To give Indiana an at large bid and make them play in the play-in game to lose to a SWAC team.

I would actually like to see that happen
screw minnesota, put IU in the play in game
I dont know about that
Iowa beat the 3rd or 4th place SWAC team by 38. I think Indiana might win by 5

all signs point to a 4 seed
Georgetown got a 3, michigan a 5 and ohio st the worst 2
Tennessee over Georgetown

Tennessee a 6 seed?
Wow they got hosed. They are a lot better than that.
ditto
thought they’d be a 4 or 5, since they beat 2 #1’s
by Justinian IV on Mar 14, 2010 6:14 PM EDT up reply actions
not a 3.
11 seed. 3 seeds below UNLV (an 8)
whom they beat twice, tied in conference regular season standings
More proof
Seth Davis is a functional retard. Tennessee is the only team in the country to beat two one seeds.

expect xavier to beat them
dad is a huge fan of X so I’ve watched a decent amount of their games this year.
X has bigs to counter Minny's twin towers
Kevin Love, Kenny Freese. Plus better guard play
by Justinian IV on Mar 14, 2010 6:24 PM EDT up reply actions
Minny is streaky though.
They were shooting lights out from 10-15 ft against us.

That would be a good game for us.
They don’t always score very well either, our defense > theirs.
Illinois didn't finish well...

We looked awful in Indianapolis too
However, Siena hasn’t won against any of the strong OOC teams they played.
They’ll be a trendy upset pick, but we could have done worse.

7-5 non conference
best RPI win against Northeastern
A&M if they win

Looked at the blog
nowhere close as good as this one- they are playing a “what if” scenario- sounds like they weren’t too sure about getting in. I like the matchup- more worried about A & M
Unselfish reasons to root for USU
It’d be too cool if their student section could get the “winning team losing team” chant going.
But that is looking too far ahead already.

Hasbrouck stats from last year
averaged 14.6 points/game, 3.5 rebounds/game, 2.8 assists/game, 2.0 steals/game
Texas A&M is not a bad draw.
There’s been talk about Roland coming back from his broken leg in the tournament. Will be interesting to see hwo that plays out.
Anyone else
Gonna avoid ESPN talking about the tourney until we play. I dont wanna us as the upset special all week.
definitely
I’ve avoided them all day today too

I like this, actually.
Not bad at all. I think we’re int he weakest region and can go far with a deep run. There is no guarantee Duke gets past Lousiville if Louisville actually gives a crap.

A couple of 6'9" guys underneath for Sienna...balanced scoring...

Alex Franklin 16.3 /8
Edwin Ubiles 15.2/3.7
Ryan Rossiter 13.9/11.1
Clarence Jackson 13.6/2.5

Siena basic preview
looks like a 7 to 8 man rotation.
Team shoots 42.7% from the field, 32.9% from 3 pt range, 63.6% from the free throw line.
14.5 assists/game, outrebounded opponents by 4.1/game, 12.2 turnovers/game.
three players above 6’7". all three play.
Boiler defense might be the difference....

Saw Ohio St last year
I was watching that one and hoping for the upset
Siena's performance against quality opponents
against RPI top 50:
lost @Temple by 4
lost @Butler by 17
lost @Northern Iowa by 17
lost @Georgia Tech by 13
21 of their 27 wins against sub 100 RPI teams
Probably a dumb question
but when do they determine the tip off times for the games?
by septimusharding on Mar 14, 2010 7:12 PM EDT reply actions
Since we're playing on the west coast...
…It will be a 3pm tip at the EARLIEST. More likely that it’s 8pm-10:30pm though. Perfect for the bars.
thanks for everyone who has stopped by this weekend
It has been wildly successful. I am going to take a much needed break tonight and get into some Siena stuff, as well as a tourney wrap tomorrow. In the meantime, I have posted a few Siena links as FanShots on the front page.
