The problem for Purdue is that nobody has stepped up….at least not yet.<\/p>\n E’Twaun Moore is the kind of electric scorer who can carry a team but he needs to do it smartly. He was a horrific 1\/14 against Minnesota in what was a dreadful peformance by the entire team.<\/p>\n Without Hummel this is not a Final Four calibre squad but could they really lose in the first round…Maybe<\/p>\n That maybe is in part due to the fact they the could not have drawn a tougher opening round opponent on the 14 line than Siena.<\/p>\n Siena has a history of slaying giants and they have an experienced squad that won’t back down. In their mind they are not a small conference team and that attitude has served them well. Also serving them well is an athletic unit with balanced scoring (4 players average between 13 and 17 points per game).<\/p>\n The biggest challenge they will have will be containig JaJuan Johnson.<\/p>\n Even though Johnson sometimes does a pretty good job of that himself that job will fall to Ryan Rossiter who comes into the game averaging a double double and continues to improve. Siena will give the Boilermakers all they can handle and them some.<\/p>\n Betting Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n Saints are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 NCAA Tournament games as an underdog Free Boilermakers vs. Saints CBB Pick<\/strong><\/p>\n I hate being trendy but I think the Saints are the smart pick here. Purdue has looked shaken since Hummel got hurt and the Saints have the talent, experience and composure to beat them or at the very least keep it close. They dont call it March Madness for nothing so lets go with the outright upset.<\/p>\n Score prediction: <\/strong>Siena 70 – Purdue 66.<\/p>\n 2010 Bracketology (Click Links Below To View Each March Madness Bracket)<\/strong><\/p>\n MIDWEST Bracket (St. Louis)<\/strong><\/a> Gamblers looking for the best online\u00a0free march madness picks<\/strong><\/a> and 2010 bracket predictions?
