We got mentioned in an ESPN Plus article re-ranking the Sweet 16 teams: On Feb. 20, Siena (255th on KenPom) hosted Saint Peter's and won 84-70. In that game, the Bulldogs connected on 58% of their shots inside the arc. How did that same Saint Peter's team reach the Sweet 16 for the first time in school history? Shaheen Holloway has spent the past few days highlighting his team's New York and New Jersey swagger and toughness. Sure, some of that is just coaching clichés. But the numbers tell a different story. This is not the same team that lost to Siena a month ago. Until that point in the season, the Peacocks' opponents had connected on 48% of their 2-point attempts (85th in the country, per Barttorvik.com). During their current 10-game winning streak -- extended by Saturday's victory against a Murray State squad that hadn't lost a game in more than three months -- the Peacocks have boasted America's top defense inside the 3-point line, with a 35.8% clip allowed. Kentucky (47.8% inside the arc) and Murray State (35.7%) both struggled to get shots that had otherwise fallen all season against an undersized Saint Peter's squad, which is on its way to the second weekend with a tangibly improved defense. www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/33550946/reseeding-2022-men-march-madness-sweet-16Wrong pedigreed but Bulldog sounds more badass.

Love it. Forget spelling now they can't even remember our nickname. Siena is an afterthought now. Undeniably insignificant.

Reminded me a lot of Ronald.

The most incredible thing is the rumor that SPU had a million dollars a year on the table for Sha to stay. This through one of their big donors who is a former player from the 1960’s who also rebuilt Run Baby Run arena. SPU paying their coach a million dollars is something I can’t wrap my head around.
