Number of the Day
3 - This past weekend, for the 3rd straight year, the Fort Valley State Wildcats claimed the SIAC regular season title. They will enter the postseason as the #1 seed in their conference tournament as they seek to return to the NCAA tournament. Right now, VBelo has them as the #28 team in the country, but that doesn’t mean they don’t deserve a spot in the big dance. All it takes is a team to underestimate an underdog for a major upset to happen.
