With March Madness in full swing, two Marist foes are enjoying Cindarellia status in the NCAA Tournament.
Marist rival Siena knocked off No. 8 Ohio State, 74-72, in double overtime on the heels of two clutch three pointers from Ronald Moore. The biggest upset of the tournament goes to Cleveland State, a team Marist has faced two straight years, including this past season on Dec. 13 in Poughkeepsie. The Vikings handed a short-handed Marist team a 66-47 loss.
J'Nathan Bullock starred against No. 4 Wake Forest last night, pouring in 21 points in the 84-69 win.
Both Siena and Cleveland State came to McCann this past season. The match-up with Siena proved much more competitive with the Saints ultimately winning, 91-85, in overtime. Cleveland State topped a David devezin-less Marist team.
One note about Marist's schedule this year was the increase in difficulty. Marist's schedule grew much tougher under Chuck Martin than under previous head coach, Matt Brady.
Marist played five teams that went to the NCAA Tournament this year. The Red Foxes posted a 1-4 record against those teams. The lone win came in the Garden State Classic when Marist routed Robert Morris, 72-55. Robert Morris won the NEC and lost to No. 2 Michigan State in the first round of the tournament. Marist also faced Binghamton and Memphis on the road.
