I don't know but they are 30-2.
Who the hell is Marist?
I don't like this either - of the #7 seeds, we have the best opponent.
They are 2-2 vs the RPI top 100. The other 28 games were against teams worse than #100. 20 games were against teams worse than #200.
They are a good team, and we have our work cut out for us. I'm just explaining how a 30-2 team can have an RPI of 48.
Marist beat Nebraska by 5 at home it looks like. They lost to St Johns. Beat Houston by 8 who is also in the tourny.
When you start talking 10 seeds, they all suck equally.

So were we so this is essentially an 8/9 game with winner playing a 2 instead of a 1.The committee goofed up. Marist should have been at least a 9, and Charlie Creme's latest Bracketology had Marist as an 8. I'm sure they feel they were underseeded, and the last thing we need is a talented opponent with a chip on their shoulder.
