If you're looking for a primer, here are some quick notes on each of the Final 8 teams. "Top 100" refers to the ranking system used here. Each team's probability of winning the tournament is based on their RPI and the chances of their facing different opponents in the tournament setup.
Last year: You need to ask?
How they got here: Won the OUA West. 19-3 during the season, then knocked off Waterloo (by 12) and Windsor (by 32).
How they got here: Quebec champs with a three-point win over UQAM the provincial final, described by our Jared Book here.
I find it rather odd that the only Carleton starter not amongst the top 100...Rob Saunders...was named top defensive player.
It doesn't really make me go hmmmm. That Top 100 is mostly an offensive ranking (it's based on what's in the boxscore, after all), so it makes sense that a defensive-minded player like Saunders is underrated by it.
