Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 5709411, member: 1969"] Siena appears to have been hurt in two cases: #1. Per the Bracket Matrix Siena (15.34) should have been the last #15 seed, and Queens's (15.59) should have been the first #16 seed. So Siena got a tough break in that regard. #2. Even as a #16 seed, it seems they priortized the travel for UMBC/Howard between Game 1 and Game 2, and placed them in Buffalo which is not unusual. That forced Siena to play either in Grenville, Tampa or San Diego. And they gave them Grenville. That being said it would have been equally reasonable to put Siena in Buffalo, and make UMBC/Howard winner travel to Grenville instead of Buffalo. They could have went either way, but Siena got shafted with the choice. [/QUOTE]
