Siena Saints -This Years Cinderella?

Siena University, in many peoples eyes had little to no chance at beating Ohio State in tonights first round matchup. So..what happens?

In one of the most entertaining games I have seen in a while, Siena University goes out and in a thrilling double overtime affair......Defeats Ohio State 74-72!

Don't ya just love a giant killer?

I know I do!

Let The March Madness begin! Maybe this year The Siena Saints will be the darlings of the ball. And in a way, I hope it does turn out that way. It's always nice to root for the underdog especially going up against supposedly major powerhouses.

Can you imagine what it must be like about now in the town of Loudonville? Siena College I'm sure will not sleep for days....I know I wouldn't if I was attending!

I could almost hear the collective Hoots and howls when Ronald Moore drained the 3 pointer with 3.9 seconds to win it. That young man has icewater in his veins!

And quite truthfully, kind of gave me goosebumps!

The game was truly a joy to watch and I am going to follow these Saints to see what mayhem they can cause in this tournament.

Personally, I don't think they are quite done yet.

As I said, I think we might be looking at the story of the year.

Thank You Siena Saints for a truly fantastic performance!
