siena saints

SIENA HOPE TO MARCH PAST AS VICTORIOUS..........Fans know that the Siena Saints have what it takes to knock off major schools but what else do they know about the tiny school from the state of New York?

In one of the more intriguing first-round matchups, the ninth-seeded Siena Saints square off against the eighth-seeded Ohio State Buckeyes in the NCAA Tournament's Midwest Region tonight. The survivor of this game will move on to face either Louisville of Morehead State on Sunday.
The Saints earned an automatic berth to the Big Dance after ripping through the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference and winning both the regular season and tourney titles for the second year in a row. After sweeping the MAAC crowns last year, Siena was seeded 13th in the Midwest Region and it trounced fourth- seeded Vanderbilt, 83-62, in the first round before losing to Villanova. The Saints, who are 3-4 in four prior NCAA Tournament appearances, are seeded ninth this year, the program's highest ever spot.
