Low/Mid-Major Conference Tourneys

It stinks when the winner of the tournament does not get to go, because they are ineligible. I think it was with Merrimac recently.

That's the challenge of a league like the NEC. It would make sense to not even have these teams play in the conference tournament because it's kinda hollow if the "loser" would still go to the tournament, but when like half the NEC is ineligible teams because that's where so many new to D1 schools out East start, I feel like the league's hand is kinda forced to let them play and see what happens.
 
We've got quite a few championship games this afternoon that will determine autobids! The # by each team is their KenPom rating.

Noon - CBS - Missouri Valley
  • #75 Northern Iowa vs #104 UIC
Noon - ESPN2 - Big South
  • #146 vs #93 High Point (Youssouf Singare is their backup center)
2PM - ESPN2 - Atlantic Sun
  • #186 Queens vs #147 Central Arkansas
Local conferences like the MAAC, games start at 6PM (Go Fairfield!) the Patriot League (Go Lehigh!), games start at Noon, will have their conference semifinals.

Northern Iowa 4 games in four days. Greatest run in Mvc tournament history

Watching them play and looking at their analytics, it's not crazy to say Northern Iowa has one of the most complete defenses in the nation. Will be a very tough out.

Maybe because I'm a little blue that Mark Schmidt retired, but I find it so easy to root for guys like Ben Jacobsen...OG mid-major coaches that prioritize retaining players and developing talent.
 
Cam'Ron Fletcher (Kentucky --> FSU --> Xavier last year --> High Point) has put the game away for High Point. Hit a dagger 3 to put them up 14 with 5 and a half minutes to go, then got to the line and made 2 FTs the next trip down

14 points and 16 rebounds with a few minutes left. High Point (Youssouf Singare!) will go dancing!

The MVC is an awesome conference to watch. Good teams and good players, a lot of talented high major players in that league and the games are ultra competitive.

One of my favorite leagues and a potential beneficiary of an expanded tournament.

I’m noticing a lot of upsets in these tournaments this year and not in the semis but in the quarters. Tons of #1 seeds being beat by 9s.
 
Some real chaos all over today! BU toppling 1 seed Navy, UNI winning 4 in 4 days, Queens making their first March Madness by also taking down the top seed in their conference, and UNC Wilmington lost in the quarters of the CAA tourney as heavy favorites to win the conference

That's a really slow clock start. Might have still been in time but I don't know

Yep, the clock didn't start until his second dribble and he got the shot off with 1.7 seconds on the clock.

Yeah you're absolutely right. I think the clock was slow to be stopped after the Navy bucket too, looked like an extra .4 or .5 seconds came off

Yep, clock should've stopped at 4.1 and they stopped it at 3.6

Watching the socon semis right now uncg up big on Furman initially, Furman comes roaring back lead by their freshman pg alex Wilkins he is either scoring or setting up his teamates to score. 6'5 with handle and a J, able to get down hill and score at the rim. Was supposed to rs this year but coach said he was too damn good to ride the pine, might not be at Furman too long.problem is the kid is a stick. Needs to getvin the weight room

This bracket turns my stomach when I see it every year. If you’re wondering why Gonzaga has won this tournament 600 years in a row, here’s your answer. This will be their last either way.

They would benefit by watching more 6-12 power conference teams get in ahead of them?
