Middle of the Majors

Tonight, Providence defeated Pittsburgh 81-73 at the Dunkin Donuts Center. This is bad for Siena in two ways; this lowers Pitt’s RPI [which in turn lowers Siena's], and second, this puts Providence back on the radar for an At Large bid.

ESPN.com’s Kyle Whelliston had this to say about Siena’s season thus far:
Another round of 32 squad that has underachieved is the Saints, who have lived under the mid-major microscope after their crushing 13-over-4 victory over Vanderbilt (in the same Tampa pod that produced the San Diego shocker). A virtually intact team simply hasn’t been up [...]
