Sleeper Alert - Siena (MAAC)

At PPI headquarters, we hope that Siena from the MAAC conference wins their conference tournament because it seems that this team is getting no love. Siena is currently #35 in the PPI after losing to other MAAC standout Niagara by 15 points yesterday. As of right now, the PPI believes that both of these teams should be in the field of 65. However, ESPN does not agree. They just performed a mock exercise where four teams were left for one spot in the tourney: Siena, Michigan, Virginia Tech, and Providence. They eliminated Siena from consideration first and then Providence. We believe that Michigan, Virginia Tech, and Providence still need to do work to get in the tourney, whereas Siena has done enough (as of right now, even with the loss last night). If Siena makes the tournament, look for this team to do damage; if you recall last year, the team destroyed Vanderbilt in the first round of the NCAA in an upset.
