This is 16-seed, play-in fodder. The 1-seed is St. Francis (PA) who is 247 in KenPom. The 2-seed is Fairleigh Dickinson who is 230th in KenPom. Both finished 12-6 in league play and split their regular season matchups. FDU has won 5 straight while St. Francis (PA) has lost 2 of 3 after winning 8 straight.
Sacred Heart and Robert Morris could also be factors as both finished 11-7 in league play. Sacred Heart is actually the 2nd highest KenPom team at 230. LIU-Brooklyn and St. Francis (NY) finished 9-9 in league play and aren’t substantially different by the numbers versus the higher seeds.
The Pick: Sacred Heart - Sacred Heart is one of the 44 D1 who have never played in the tournament. They’re as good a bet as any in this league and would thoroughly enjoy Dayton
