Championship Week Predictions

I've been so caught up in not being chosen as a finalist for the Best Job in the World that I missed the beginning of Championship Week, which kicked off last night with the first rounds of the Big South and Ohio Valley Conference tournaments. As you know, I am a spaz about college basketball, especially come March. In my mind, there is nothing better in sports than Championship Week and the NCAA Tournament.

Anyway, because you care (I assume you rely heavily on me when wagering on college basketball), and because I have proven my Nostrdamic abilities time and time again, here is a rundown of each conference tournament, along with my prediction about who will win.
