something is amiss with the seeding when teams like Siena and Western Kentucky are sweet 16 candidates and Villanova almost qualifies for elite 8 programs.
To be fair, Western Kentucky has a damn good team. They work together well and they have a few guys who can flat out shoot.
I think Sienna got lucky in that UConn game, and I think yet again UConn was looking past their opponent and got caught. Nova blew them out of the water in their game.
San Diego beat UCONN. Sienna beat Vanderbilt. Sienna did not get lucky. They simply beat the crap out of an overrated SEC team. San Diego might have caught a break with the Price injury, because UCONN looked awfully lost without their first-team, all-conference point guard. If Price plays 35 minutes in that game, I have to believe that San Diego does not advance.

Sorry - I had my teams confused. That was a lot of upsets at one site in one day.

Who would you rather play Siena/Western Kentucky or Kentucky/Stanford?

Not quite sure what you're getting at there - Sienna and WKU are on opposite sides of the bracket this year and neither of them are a 3 seed. Are you asking if I think we could beat Siena/WKU? Yes Sienna, WKU would be a game - they were playing really well that first weekend.
