Saints Go Marching Past Ohio State in Double OT

It took ten extra minutes for Siena to extend their curfew at the 2009 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.

Congratulations to the Saints-clutch plays when it counted. You just can't teach players how to "Man-Up"-they either have or they don't, and the Siena Saints have it. Louisville may be a 1 seed, but intimidation will not be a factor on Sunday!

Sounds to me like someones team was eliminated in the first round, or never got an invite and is playing in the NIT. Fact is Phil while they didn't beat a top 25 team, they did play against them and thus the RPI score was very good. These other teams from strong confrences (SEC, BIG10 ACC) played weak teams and and worse RPI scores. Siena won the MAAC, beat a Big 10 team, and check your facts, back in December Ohio state was ranked 24th, So they did beat a ranked team, and beat them when it really counted

I'll tell you what went wrong. The Bucks didn't have a clue against that half court press and Matta didn't seem to have an adjustment for it.

well if sucky siena only played maac conference teams they wouldnt deserve to be in ncaa tournament well that was december they were ranked 24th this is march you idiot iam notre dame fan and umass fan hink they would both beatsucky siena

[Cfoote]

I was right! Someone missed the tourney and is in the NIT. Notre Dame played a weak schedule you idiot and sucked doing it, they were not worthy of the big dance. You asked if they beat a Nationally ranked team. They Did, Ohio State, when it counted! Your team never even got an invite. Now whose team sucks?

Wow! phil is a clown. English is clearly his second language. He roots for ND because he never attended a school of his own, obviously. One of the Siens boys must have stolen his girl...No, wait...there is no way an illiterate could get a girl a baller would ever have. AND he lives in troy, soooo...nuf said.

[Mr Breeze]

Take it from a Buckeye fan. Sienna looked pretty good to me. They are well coached and got exellent guard play. Hell I was pulling for them against Louisville. I watched us beat Notre Dame in December and I wouldn't bet against Sienna in that matchup....Unbiased opinion here....

If they could only held it together against Louisville:(
