Patriot League Too

The Patriot League starts its tournament tonight. All games will be played at the home of the higher seed. As Brian mentioned, Bucknell will be the heavy favorite.

They're 80th in KenPom and would probably scare the daylights out of Baylor or West Virginina in the opening round. They challenged themselves out of league, including a win at Vanderbilt. 

A cause for concern would be they were swept in conference play by Lehigh, everyone's favorite 15-seed. Lehigh is 118th in KenPom, so they're a legit threat. They also have wins over Princeton and Mississippi State.

The next best team is Boston who finished 12-6 in league play along with Lehigh. Boston also swept Lehigh and would get the home court against them.

The Pick: Lehigh in a slight upset
