Miscellaneous Mid-Major Tournaments

[Plebe]

It's getting harder and harder to pay attention to actual games and scores, but I'm determined to stick it out to the bitter end.

#3 Liberty edged out #2 North Alabama in the A-Sun semifinals, 90-87 in OT. A fittingly close game, as these teams had tied for 2nd in conference. (North Alabama was the #2 seed because they handed FGCU its only loss in conference play.)

Congrats to North Alabama on a very respectable season (20-11, 11-5). On the slim chance that the WNIT still takes place, they'll receive the A-Sun's automatic bid.

Barring cancellation, Liberty will travel to FGCU for the A-Sun championship game on Sunday.

In MEAC action.... Central leads My Aggies... 26-21

Things are moving so quickly...... found out late last night that the Colonial was restricting fans.... now a few hours ago... they announced they were cancelling the rest of the tournament. Of course... hindsight is 20/20.... but I was planning on going yesterday..... but assumed both NC schools would win.... so I said I'll just go on Thursday-Saturday. Now I wished I would have gone. UNC-W won yesterday... was scheduled to play at noon today.... they weren't a threat to do advance beyond today.... but it is a Senior heavy team.... and now those players will never put on their uniform again. Heartbreaking for the Seniors...

No fans at the Southland @Plebe

Southland just canceled their tournament.

The MEAC continues to play. Well My aggies went down to defeat to their biggest rival Central. 56-54. The second quarterfinal is taking place as I type. Del State and Morgan State are all tied up 35-35.

So the MEAC is the last holdout? I wonder how long this lasts.

The MEAC is perhaps the only conference that offers no broadcast or stream of its games.

Just one of the reasons that NCA&T is headed to the Big South.

@triaddukefan They were just showing highlights of the Morgan State-Delaware State game on ESPN SportsCenter. Apparently it was showing on FloTV.
