I follow the american east in some capacity because I graduated from Albany. This bryant team is the best american east team i've ever seen. Especially their top player Timberlake is flying around making plays on both sides of the ball and very athletic. Also I like top top 3 scorers (timberlake included) all taller than 6-8 with very good 3 pt shooting success this season. 15 seeds have advanced to the sweet 16 on 3 occasions over the last 4 seasons. Mich St does not have a defensive anchor in the paint coupled with the possibility of bryant getting hot from 3? Bryant has been a much better 3 pt shooting team than Mcneese and you saw what happened when they got hot.
