A No.16 seed has dumped out a No.1 seed only twice in March Madness history — that’s the size of the task facing No.16 Siena (No.63 overall) on their first Big Dance appearance in 16 years — however, they were both relatively recent occurrences. No.1 Duke (No.1 overall) are led by likely No.1 NBA Draft pick Cameron Boozer, but they have injury issues.
Here’s how to watch Duke vs Siena live streams from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for FREE!

Starters Patrick Ngongba and Caleb Foster are yet to recover from respective foot injuries sustained earlier this month. The Blue Devils won both the ACC regular season and tournament conference titles regardless, but even coach Jon Scheyer isn’t denying that they’re not at full-strength.
On paper, the MAAC tournament-winning Saints don’t stand a chance, but as any bracketologist will testify, March Madness has a tendency to defy logic. And Gerry McNamara’s underdogs need look no further than the 2018 Retrievers and 2023 Knights for inspiration.
This is, incidentally, only the eighth March Madness meeting between two coaches who won the NCAA Division I men’s basketball tournament as players, Scheyer doing so with the Blue Devils in 2010, and McNamara with the Orange in 2003.
