They’ll lose in the title game again as usual.

Sacred Heart scored 57 points in the second half to beat Iona. They get #1 Merrimack tomorrow

Last year’s MVC champ (Drake) moves on to play this year’s favorite Belmont

The #1 CUSA seed is already gone. Liberty goes down to #6 Louisiana Tech

I think it’s still the regular season in the CUSA, believe their tourney starts next week

CCSU too. Last year was particularly egregious as they were by far the best team in that conference and choked in the championship game scoring only like 40 points

I want to see more Connecticut teams in the NCAAT, but I just cannot get excited about CCSU until they actually make it to the NCAAT. They could have W-L record of 30-0 and be the #1 seed in the NEC Tournament and have the entire tournament on their home court in New Britain and I still wouldn't feel confident that they would win it. It seems like the last few years they find a way to choke. Last year, they definitely choked and that NEC title game was unwatchable due to both teams' lackluster play.

I hear you, love watching the chaos unfold during champ week. Multiview in ESPN+ is my best friend right now

I do like the loud raucous environments in these small gyms that seat under 4,000. I usually don't start watching until the semifinals or finals of these mid-to-low major tournaments.

One thing I don't do is thumb my nose down on these teams like I used to. I would scoff at the idea of these teams, most of which I never heard of or know much about, being able to do anything in the NCAAT as they played in their tiny rinky dink gyms. Only days later in the NCAAT I would see an upset alert update on the bottom of the screen with that same team in a 3-14 seed first round match up leading in the 2nd half. I learned my lesson never to scoff at these teams.

Belmont down 16 to Drake with 7 minutes to go! Wild, Belmont has been one of the best mid majors this year

Drake with the blowout. They just own that conference regardless of their record.

Drake absolutely worked Belmont all afternoon. The lack of perimeter defense from Belmont was shocking. Unless Bradley gets the job done now, the Valley is going to get an awful seed in the big dance now.

The MVC commissioner's reaction.

Maybe #2 seed Bradley (20-11, 13-7 MVC) or #3 seed Illinois State (20-11, 12-8 MVC) can salvage it.

Belmont being a #1 seed with a 26-5 overall record and a 16-4 MVC record losing to #9 seed Drake with a 12-19 overall record and a 6-14 MVC record has to be painful for those players. And it looks like the game wasn't particularly close. What can you say, but attribute it to March Madness.

What luck I had for this game. I decided to take a 10 minute break from work and saw the score of this game on ESPN with 1:10 left and watched the rest on ESPN+. Winthrop pulled a rabbit out of their arse by getting 2 steals after that much needed 3 to cut the lead to 4.
 
Big South tournament was absolutely nuts today. To add to that wild Winthrop finish, 6 seed Presbyterian hit a half court shot at the buzzer to force OT and got the job done in OT to upset 3 seed Radford.
