We pull the best stories from all across the internet so you don’t have to. Kenny Hasbrouck signed but we are still waiting his first minutes on the court, more Siena picks and much more.

Marist alum Ryan Schneider, writing at WFAN.com, previews the South region and says he expects the Saints to pull off the upset.

The first round upset of the region goes to…

The 13 seeded Siena Saints. The boys from Albany are now accustomed to playing as an underdog in March. The Saints are a senior laden team led by potential NBA prospect Edwin Ubiles. Couple that with Clarence Jackson’s ability to knock down the long-ball and there are your perimeter threats. But wait we’re not done…I haven’t even mentioned MAAC player of the year Alex Franklin. He averaged 16 and 8 throughout the season and can dominate a game despite being an undersized forward. I have to love a team that has a past of successful upset bids against high quality opponents (they knocked off Ohio State last year and Vandy the year before).

Obviously the Boilermakers aren’t a four seed if Robbie Hummel is healthy. But he isn’t and Purdue is coming off their most embarrassing performance of the season (11 points in the first half? Not a confidence builder). Fran McCaffrey’s Saints may actually be favored come game-time.

Michael Ospioff of the Gary Post Tribune asks the question, Can Purdue regroup from an embarrassing loss to Minnesota?

Which begs the question: Can Purdue get back that fight? Can the team regroup after such a dismal game?

As far as the players are concerned, there is no question.

“Our team is still positive,” senior guard Grant said. “No one’s sad and pouting around.”

Said junior guard Moore: “If I didn’t think we could bounce back, I wouldn’t play the game on Friday. It’s (NCAA) Tournament time — anything can happen.”

Joe Sheehan of Basketball Prospectus offers his thoughts on the Saints, and the Boilermakers later today, in his 65 Teams, 65 Thoughts column.

Siena: I made this point with Oakland, so I should make it here: Siena played four top-50 opponents, went 0-4, and wasn’t really competitive in any of the games. They also lost to St. John’s. Their best nonconference win was over Northeastern. All of this is to say that the evidence that they can beat a #4 seed is limited. Fortunately, they drew a six-seed in What’s Left of Purdue, and they have a fighting chance. Siena never fouls, yet manages to pick up steals on 12.5% of possessions (23rd) and defends shooters reasonably well (127th in defensive eFG%).
