DAYTON, Ohio (AP) - In case you haven't hopped on the Marist bandwagon yet, there's still room.
"A lot of people have jumped on it and hopefully there's a lot more," coach Brian Giorgis said Saturday during his team's preparations for taking on top-seeded and heavily favored Tennessee in a regional semifinal on Sunday afternoon at the University of Dayton Arena. "Our country's always been one that likes the underdog. I don't think there's probably a bigger one than us right now in either tournament."
Marist's Red Foxes (29-5) find themselves as the fans' favorite because there have been so few major NCAA upsets this season. They are only the third No. 13 seed to ever get this far in the women's tournament.
