Last night, two more teams punched their tickets. LIU staved off two-time defending NEC champ Robert Morris in OT to earn their first NCAA tournament bid since 1997, while Northern Colorado will be dancing for the first time ever. Good times. No bids are up for grabs tonight, but there were a ton of good games, and just about every conference had a full slate of games today. Penn State sure ruined a lot of Big Ten brackets.
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.
Already clinched automatic berths:
Atlantic Sun – Belmont
Big Sky – Northern Colorado
Big South – UNC-Asheville
Colonial – Old Dominion
Horizon – Butler
MAAC – St. Peter's
Missouri Valley – Indiana State
Northeast – LIU
Ohio Valley – Morehead State
Southern – Wofford
Summit – Oakland
Sun Belt – Arkansas-Little Rock
West Coast – Gonzaga
