Awww, damn you! I was all set to pick Siena. Now I'm going to be cheering for Niagara in the Metro Atlantic finals tonight.
Even though they haven't punched their ticket to the tournament yet, I'm going to pick the Saint Mary's Gaels. A competitive loss to Gonzaga tonight should be more than enough to secure an at large spot, but an upset isn't out of the question: they were leading Gonzaga in Spokane five weeks ago when star point guard Patrick Mills broke his hand, and four of the Gaels' five losses came with Mills out of the lineup. Now that he's back, they have serious cinderella potential (assuming they make the cut).
