Week 16 games (Mar. 8–14)

Big West final will be UC Davis vs. UC Irvine.
 
In their last season in the MEAC.... the Aggies (my) of NC A&T advance to the finals with a 69-54 victory over Morgan State. They advance to play Howard.
 
Dobee seems like such a positive person...not the tyrant you seem to hear about some other WCBB coaches. I'm sure being a mother helps her relate to her players and make them want to play for her.
 
No fewer than 9 conferences play their championship games today. Another 4 are playing semifinals today.

All 13 conferences still in action are one-bid leagues at this point except for the Big 12 and Big Ten. But if Missouri State loses they will take an at-large bid.

Not a good year to be a #1 seed in a conference tournament.
Titles so far:
#1: 6
#2: 8
#3: 1
#7: 1

Funny [but nice] to watch GG jumping up and down with the coaches & players. (She's a CMU assistant this year.)

Any predictions on CMU’s seed and whether BGSU will receive an at-large bid?

No chance of an at-large bid for any of the MAC teams this year.

CMU likely a 12 or 13.

The MAC certainly hurt themselves this year by having an extremely competitive conference where the teams beat up on each other quite often. Personally, I'd rather see Bowling Green, Buffalo, or Ohio in the tournament than a team like Notre Dame or Mississippi State. The issue is that the numbers don't look to be in the favour of the MAC with a best NET ranking of 56 held by Bowling Green. So, the computers not helping their case with the lack of respect the MAC gets as a conference probably means that they're a one bid conference this year despite multiple recent deep runs in the tournament by CMU and Buffalo.

It was more than an issue of the better teams in the MAC beating up on each other. They also lost too many games to the middle and bottom of the conference. Ohio is a good example, since in theory they entered conference play in the best position to build an at-large-worthy resume with the win over Notre Dame (with ND missing two key players, but still).

But Ohio's losses came not only to the top 3 other teams in the conference (Bowling Green, Central Michigan, Buffalo). They also lost to Eastern Michigan, Ball State, Kent State and Akron. Just not a good overall resume.

I don't like reading too much into one game, but I find eye-opening the fact that the team that won the regular season title by 1.5 games (Bowling Green) lost to a pretty lame Purdue team this year.
 
Missouri St had to forfeit game rather than play a team with Covid exposure

snatches a bid from a bubble team and hurts MoSt case for a 4 seed

dumpster fire

I haven't seen anything official on what's occurring here -- details still forthcoming per the official source. I'm holding judgement until I know more.

Yeah, I've seen the string of tweets, just waiting until official word. Regardless of the official word in the end, it's not a good look to consider making a team forfeit because they don't want to put themselves at risk for COVID. That being said, one would think all the teams agreed to a protocol before the tournament -- and if they're following that protocol, I'm not sure that there's an easy answer in this case.
 
VCU ends Dayton's hopes of making the tournament with a 56-50 clipping of the Flyers. They'll get to face UMass or St. Louis to see who goes a dancin'.
