The good news--the Bison got a 13 seed
the bad news--they play West Virginia in Buffalo
Princeton got a 12, but as a reward got a strong UND
and when the 2 underdogs win, they play each other

They are the #5 team in Pomeroy's ratings, ahead of Kansas, Duke, Arizona, etc. And the fact that they got upset in the first round last year likely means they won't be taking their first round opponent for granted. |

What has Bucknell got that we don't??? I'm assuming this is rhetorical question, but if it's not, the answer is a much better roster. |

As much as I root against Bucknell during the PL season, nevertheless I hope it can give WV a decent game, keeping it close so as not to get decimated as HC was vs. #1 seeded Oregon last year. By the way, anyone here think Iona has a decent shot vs. #3 seeded Oregon this week?

Iona is a 14 seed I believe.

Don't forget to fill out your brackets on the ESPN site. I believe that is the one we used last year.

Oregon loves a fast pace. Iona has no chance |

Princeton will beat UND. The Bison will lose.

Princeton will have to play a lot better than they did vs Penn to be in the game vs ND. They did not play anyone of the caliber of ND this season.
I cannot see Princeton winning. ND has too many scoring weapons.

Coaching matters a lot in the NCAA tourney. I am not a Mike Brey believer (12-13 NCAA tourney record).

ND has too many scoring weapons. However, Princeton played very well against Yale; and they too have a lot of scoring weapons. Should be a competitive game. |

The difference being that ND's weapons succeeded vs the ACC, Princeton's, the Ivy |
