Thanks Phil! Personally I feel like Notre Dame shouldn't even be in the discussion unless they can win at home against Villanova and get to 9-9 in league play. At 8-10 with an RPI of 70 they shouldn't even be strongly considered. I hope Siena gets in, they are playing really good basketball now, took a 40-19 halftime lead on Northern Iowa who leads the MVC. Niagara also blew out the 3rd place MVC team Illinois St so the top of the conference stacks up very well against the MVC. Siena played absolutely terrible in the Old Spice when Kenny Hasbrouck let talks of NBA scouts get in his head but the past few games they have looked better than they have ever looked (including wins over Stanford and Vandy last year). At Kansas they played really poorly and still cut a 30-10 deficit down to 4 with 7 minutes to play before losing by 7. Not many teams can do that at Kansas in a pay to play game where they use Big 12 officials and let Aldrich do whatever he wants underneath.
