Wow, drake lost? They are out then. A lot of people were projecting them as the automatic qualifier from that conference.

Oh okay. Not as dire as I thought then. I did notice that some conferences weirdly seem to still be in their regular season for some reason. Like the mountain west.

Sounds like Valpo and Drake would be comfortable playing in the mortuary that is The Conte Forum.

I looked at official attendance listing. It was 270 or something really paltry like that, but I'll guarantee there were nowhere near that many people in the building.

That's far from being a sure thing. Missouri St., Murray St., Belmont and Drake are all 15-4 or 14-5 in conference, Illinois St. only 1 game back at 13-6. Maybe someone like Northern Iowa has a puncher's chance. That conference tourney is gonna be a dog fight. Not sure if it's a 1 bid league or if they could get someone in at large, but there will be a lot at stake.
 
Sorry to post on 2 threads (might be a little adrenaline)... SEC quarterfinal has taken a slightly interesting turn.
 
I thought Vandy got hosed down the stretch with no calls but it was a heck of a comeback effort nonetheless.
 
Did Vandy come back because SC started to rest its starters ?

The comeback began with the second half tip-off against the starters and continued against the whole 2 deep. It ended when the team fed Chloe with 4 minutes to go.
 
In mid major action last night... The mighty Aggies of NCA&T clinched the #1 seed in next weeks CAA tournament with a victory over Wiliam and Mary.

Earlier today my UNCG Spartans averted disaster with a come from behind win over Wofford 54-50. Came down to the final seconds but my Spartans advance to the SoCon championship game on Sunday vs nemesis Chattanooga.

I love all these P-4.5 tournaments being played at the same times.

Tomorrow is shaping up to be one of the best Saturday’s of wbb ever!

Love it!

In the olden days (late 90s/early 00s), all the sweet 16 games were on a single Saturday. That was a pretty fun day.
 
I think Prov was picked 3rd in the Big East. They finished 7th and were bounced in the first round by Georgetown.
But the Friars have no money so their coach will remain.

And any hope of change at Xavier likely went away with their upset over DePaul. Musketeers have now won 2 conference games in the last 2 years.

Post Season
All these teams are well below .500, so their seasons are done.

Top 4 in conf will play in NCAA or WBIT or WNIT or WBI.
Villanova and St Johns have a shot at one of these.

The WBIT is the new tournament run by the NCAA that started last year. It takes the first 4 out, conference regular season champs who didnt make the NCAAs, and other at-larges to get to 32.

The WNIT is 48 teams.

The WBI was paused last year but is supposed to be back this year. It has 8 teams.

That means 156 teams in the post season! There are ~180 teams with winning records so if you are >=.500, good chance you get to keep playing.
