Cinderella is alive and well for Friday's MAAC men's semifinals at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall

Who doesn't love a college basketball underdog in March? No. 11 seed Marist will play 10th-seeded Saint Peter's at 8:30 p.m. The other semifinal matches top-seeded Iona against either fourth-seeded Siena or fifth-seeded Niagara at 6 p.m. The championship game is 7:30 p.m. Saturday. Marist earned its way to the semifinals with a stunning 75-59 win over third-seeded Quinnipiac, which had beaten Marist twice this season, including an eight-point win last Saturday at Marist on the Red Foxes senior night.
