They lost at Manhattan, so Siena gets Canisius in the quarterfinal.
Let's get our fans to Springfield...we have something to root for this year. Let's make Springfield Albany East!
ESPN3, Saturday, 2:30 pm

Going to be fun- all the pressure on Canisius- this is there best year in last 20 years. Griffs are a good team and Baron is just downright terrific. Young Saints will have to bring their A game

Young Saints will have to bring their A game Well, they have the tape of this game to set the game plan, but Siena doesn't usually employ the match up zone.

Game the Saints can win. don't like the idea Baron had a bad game today. does he have 2 in a row in him? Amazing he was held to 2-8 in a close game. Maybe Patsos should try the same game plan and just run 2 guys at him and make others come up big.

Young Saints will have to bring their A game The 6 seed would have been a better path IMHO. One more game but better march ups . I would agree that playing Quinnipiac probably is better match-up than Manhattan/Canisius right now because of their injuries but finishing 5th is just a big symbolically. Plus it's no lock the #6 seed will beat the #11 seed. We will be an underdog (probably 5 1/2-6 points) but if we can somehow not let Baron take over the game we've got a decent chance to win.

But that is just me and most everyone else I would guess.

An extra game (anything can happen, though), but team-wise for that qtr round, Quinny is not playing real well now.

Stephon, not Seth. Seth was just okay and finished up at Duke.

But that is just me and most everyone else I would guess. Not the point. I'm just saying it's an easier path. I have no doubt we would win a 6 - 11 match up and we match up better vs QU.. Canisius is a very tough out and we do not match up well vs Iona. The 6 has an easier path to the final vs the 5 slot.

If this team belongs in the finals, it'll get there no matter what the path. I'll never subscribe to the a lower seed is better theory. Do your best in the regular season and take on all comers in the postseason. I say having Siena in your bracket is the hard path to the finals. Go Saints!

Ok but it is an option that is not there given the team's top 5 finish and since no one would forfeit that status to take the easier route I guess my point is that that option is moot.

You may not subscribe to it but lower seeds sometimes do get better match ups. Happens all the time in the Big Dance brackets!
