Siena Basketball: GMAC / Blackwell / AO

UConn really should drop down a line. They are more a 3 than a 2 at this point. If that doesn’t happen then there’s a bit of Duke treatment happening with them now.

All in on Gerry if he beats Duke

 

[Starman]

It'll be interesting to see if Duke's roster will be at 100% for that game.

Hodgson gets to go back home to Buffalo.

 

[llandz]

Tough draw for SIena.

Makes easy to interview

Did Wildhack make that happen? A parting gift. As I just said in their game thread on here, you all need to show up in Orange for that game. You can bet that our athletic powers that be will be at that game.

Ouch.
Gerry could be the greatest coach in the history of the NCAA, but Siena ain’t beating Duke. Shocked if they lose by less than 25.

If JW helped Hodg in the matchup, he took it out on Gerry.
I didn’t see any brackets predicting Siena as a 16 seed going after the number 1 seed in the whole tournament.

Some had them in a play in game.

Siena Saints​

Region: East
Record: 23-11
Tournament ceiling: Round of 64

Twenty-three years after he helped Syracuse win its only national title as a player, Gerry McNamara has led Siena to its first NCAA tournament appearance in 16 years. It was a quick rise for the 42-year-old, who finished 14-18 last year in his first season, but then turned things around. Siena played top-50 defense nationally inside the 3-point line, finished third in the MAAC in the regular season and won the league's tournament. McNamara returned three of his top four scorers from last year, including Gavin Doty, the 6-5 guard who is averaging 17.9 PPG and 7.0 RPG. Siena is, incidentally, ranked 26th nationally in "minutes continuity" on KenPom, a metric that measures a team's roster turnover from one year to the next.

And they could win by 50 or 60, but ya just never know until they play the game.

Wouldn't that be something. [GMac maybe would be hired as the new HC at UNC.]

It's happened I think once before - a 16 beating a 1. UMBC beating UVa.

and of course to remind us all -- 1991 (I think) the first time a 15 beat a 2. Richmond over Syracuse. Cole Field House, College Park, MD. and I was there. Ugh. I'm still in shock.

Chaminade beating Ralph Sampson and UVA is probably the biggest shocker of my lifetime

Twice. FDU over Purdue.
