Ohio State is the play and here is why:
1) it is basically a home game being in Dayton.
2) Siena is very good Mid-major team. Yes, they beat Vandy last year, but Vandy's up tempo and 3 point shooting style was a perfect fit for the Saints.
3) I don't know if Siena is MAAC representative if the game is not played on their home floor. Niagara is every bit their equal, so don't think because they made the dance they are best in MAAC.
4) Size- Lauderdale and Mullens will kill on the glass and that will provide OSU huge edge. Hasbrouck has to have a huge game for Siena to win. They are very balanced with Ublies and Franklin. However Rossiter will struggle against Mullens and Dallas. Also, with the exception of Rossiter, everyone else shoots below 70% from the line, which is critical.
Take OSU in this game.

Who said Ohio State has the best player in the Big Ten? Turner is not the best player in the Big Ten.
Ohio State will win this game. Siena is very tough and would have scored an upset over many teams but they got the shittiest draw of most of the teams because they got a #9 seed. I think they would much rather have a #12 seed. Ohio States defense is tough and much bigger then Siena. Don't see Siena pulling another March upset.

I'm not saying Turner is nowhere near the best in the Big Ten but I think you can make strong arguments for all of those guys.

Ubiles is Siena's top defender and will draw the assignment to guard Turner. He if he can keep him in check and Siena controls the pace, they have a good chance. High scoring game (150 or so): advantage Siena. They're a scrappy team with strong point guard play that creates turnovers and OSU is prone to giving it up. Tempo will be the key.
hahaha have u seen any big ten games this year? Those guys couldnt carry turners shoes. He has way less talent around him as well. Having help around them allows hummel and moore to get open shots. Those michigan guys are gunners. Maybe harris can match turner athletically but hes not close to as good of a player
