Today's best bet: Siena (+4) over Purdue (Friday)

u25B6 The Saints, who won the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, will be a popular pick to pull an NCAA Tournament upset. Siena stunned Vanderbilt two years ago and Ohio State last year. Veteran forwards Alex Franklin and Ryan Rossiter lead a Saints team with balanced scoring and strong inside play. The fourth-seeded Boilermakers sorely miss the all-around play of injured star Robbie Hummel.
