Things are starting to get out of hand. Five more teams have punched their cards for the Big Dance. Yesterday was a bad day for Gaels. And what about St. Peter's?! Fly on, Peacocks.
And South Florida just might have ruined Villanova's NCAA tournament hopes (or at least knocked them down a few pegs), and St. Joseph's was a big winner as the bottom seed in the A-10 tournament.
As of right now, there are three more berths up for grabs tonight (as Arkansas-Little Rock just hit some clutch shots to shock North Texas in the Sun Belt). Here are my predictions for the remaining two games:
Horizon League (9 p.m. ESPN): Butler at UW-Milwaukee. Predicted winner: UW-Milwaukee
Summit (9 p.m. ESPN2): Oakland vs. Oral Roberts. Predicted winner: Oakland
Here is who has already clinched an automatic berth, as well as my updated predictions for the remaining conference tournaments (other than those listed above), taking into account as many results as I know up to this point. I'm also putting in as much TV information as I can, so that you can watch what you can. I love you, after all.
Already clinched automatic berths:
Atlantic Sun – Belmont
Big South – UNC-Asheville
Colonial – Old Dominion
MAAC – St. Peter's
Missouri Valley – Indiana State
Ohio Valley – Morehead State
Southern – Wofford
Sun Belt – Arkansas-Little Rock
West Coast – Gonzaga
