The NCAA Tournament begins for Duke on Thursday, and their First Round opponent is the Siena Saints. We preview the 1 vs. 16 matchup on DBR Bites #152.

Siena is coached by Syracuse legend Gerry McNamara, and they got to the Dance by winning the MAAC Tournament. We look at who they’ve played and how they’ve played, taking into account what the metrics and the eye test tells us.

After the break, we discuss some of the players and how they got Siena to this point. We then recap with some of the things to watch, including the question of whether Pat Ngongba will play as Duke heads to Greenville.
