If they get past Ohio, they are in the semifinals...I can't see them losing to Houston Baptist or UNC-Greensboro. That could set-up a semifinal vs. Siena. I think UA got the toughest/best/equal match-up out of any first round game in the tourney.
I really like this match-up. Ohio can score, but we got a D that can limit them. They aren't a good rebounding team either. Gotta force bad shots. I like it's a MAC school also. 100% on board with this.

ESPN has Danes as a 14 seed vs. Kentucky in Lexington. I don't understand why they have them as a 14 when teams they have ranked higher seeds don't have a better RPI. I would love to not have to face the host school in the first round. I would think they can push for a 11 or 12 seed. I mean they have a Top 50 RPI and 5 straight titles...that doesn't mean anything?
It seems like the Vegas Tourney is going to push for big "national names". If so, glad to see us in that tourney. That is what I mean about being prestige. CBI takes under .500 squads. Not sure I want that, unless it's a big name program.
