NCAA Tournament Maac

A No. 8 versus No. 9 team is generally a toss-up. When you toss in a relative home court advantage, though, of Ohio State playing in Dayton, Ohio against Siena a win by the Saints becomes a bit more of an upset. Siena made it through two overtimes to knock off the Buckeyes in a hostile location.

Ronald Moore twice hit huge threes in the overtimes. Once to extend the game to a second overtime and the next to give Siena the lead with 3.9 seconds left in the second overtime. That proved to be the game winner.

Among the big story lines from Sunday's filling out of the NCAA basketball tournament field, discussions of conferences who are "overrated" and "underrated" dominated the discussion. Specifically, fans of so-called mid-major teams cried foul, and the masses proclaimed the selection committee was biased in favor of the Big Ten and Pac-10 conferences.

The Louisville Cardinals weren't thought to be in line for a No. 1 seed a week ago, but the ball bounced their way -- so much so that they ended up as the top seed in the entire tournament. Their reward is what appears to be a relatively weak bracket. Michigan State is arguably the worst two-seed in the eyes of the public, for example. The bracket definitely has an up-tempo feel to it, so expect to see the points pile up, especially in the early rounds.
