Slow Jamming The Siena Saints

For the second straight year, Jimmy Fallon has selected a long shot team in the NCAA tournament to throw his support behind. Last year, it was the No. 16 seed Chattanooga Mocs, who were swiftly dispatched in the first round by Connecticut 103-47.

On Wednesday, Fallon announced he would take a team based closer to where he grew up in upstate New York, so he selected the No. 13 seed Siena Saints, who take on No. 4 seed Purdue at 2:30 p.m. today. In what may have been their last chance to root on the team before it's eliminated, the show last night dedicated one of its signature slow jams to Siena coach Fran McCaffery, then brought out the university's ricola horn blowers for a sonorous chant.
