All depends on the matchups dont you think Scavs? This is a man to man 3/4 court defensive team. You dont want to run into a team with a bunch of very quick, good ball handlers. I think if they play bigger teams they are in better shape than if they play athletic teams.

Example: A team like BYU that is going under the radar, but is very good, I think SIU could really mess up a team like this. I really dont think SIU would do well against Texas (barely a top 25 team), as bad as Texas is defensively, because they thrive off of having 4 guards and a post that plays like a guard. With a PG that can get past anybody in the nation. They all handle the ball well and attack the rim. I think SIU would do well against a number of Big East teams ... a rising giant like Georgetown; But have trouble with some of the SEC teams that go to the hole with numerous players able to take their defender off the dribble.
Another example: You want Stanford before Arizona, even though Stanford kicked AZ around, and AZ is still a questionable tourney team. Matchups very important. AZ has very good ball handlers that beat man to man. You definitley do not want UCLA, take on Florida before UCLA...
