Conference tourney pickems - the 31 Automatic Qualifiers

[azfan]

Big Sky title game will be Montana St. vs. Montana. @triaddukefan can we throw out the record book?

No. Bobcats won their first to tournament games by 32 and 31 the Cats extend their winning streak into the dance

Disappointing Reb turnout here at Thomas Mack as Lindy leads her team against the Aztecs....maybe fans are waiting till tomorrow night? Easily twice as many Oregonians at Orleans for the Beav win this afternoon

1 day after looking like Sheryl Swoopes, Amarachi Kimpson looks like the last one picked in a backyard game....the Aztecs are running the Rebs out of Thomas Mack.....hard to believe

Bad choice? Sometimes, there is no tomorrow.

Yeah but didn't Northern Arizona just blow out Montana recently? And Montana St. somehow lost to Sacramento St. Sometimes crazy things happen.

@nwhoopfan your speculation on Griz upset over Cats may well be in the process of materializing!

After wining their first 2 tourney games by 32 and 31 Montana State is clinging like a baby to its mommy to a 1 point lead in the 4th

I hate to say I told you so...wait, no, I love saying it!

Conference tourneys are crazy! Regular season just doesn't mean anything when you get in these situations. Countless times the team that was clearly the best in their conference for 2 or 3 months doesn't end up getting the auto bid.

But Montana St. just got a buzzer beater put back to win it looks like. Hats off to Montana for going toe to toe for all 40 minutes. Couldn't have asked for a better championship game.

edit--Montana had a hit a 3 to go up by 1 with about 7 seconds left.

A TRILLER in Boise!!!!!!! The Cats escape with a last half second shot and dance

Montana was 0-2 against Idaho, NAU and Montana State . They beat the first two earlier in the tourney and came sooooooo close to a win today

And you SHOULD love to say ..I told you so
