Updated Championship Week Predictions

It was another great day of college basketball.  Here are some highlights from yesterday's Championship Week action:

• In the OVC, Eastern Kentucky upset top-seeded Belmont to take the Colonels to their 8th NCAA Tournament.
• In the MVC Tournament, Wichita State absolutely pummeled Missouri State in the semifinals of the MVC Tournament to get to 33-0.  In the other semifinal, Indiana State topped Southern Illinois.  The teams play at 2:05 Eastern today for the automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament.  Again, if Wichita State wins, it will be the first school since UNLV in 1991 to enter the NCAA Tournament undefeated, and it will tie that UNLV team for the longest winning streak during one season (34).  Wichita State -- who made it to the Final Four last year -- will be making its 11th NCAA Tournament appearance regardless of the result in the game, but this would be the Shockers' first MVC Tournament title since 1987.  Indiana State -- who, themselves went undefeated in 1979 until losing to Michigan State in the NCAA title game -- will be going for its 5th NCAA Tournament appearance and first since 2011.
• In the Big South, Coastal Carolina takes on Winthrop.
• In the Atlantic Sun, Mercer takes on Florida Gulf Coast at 2 p.m. Eastern.  Florida Gulf Coast will be going for its 2nd NCAA Tournament berth ever.  Of course, last year, the Eagles made that miraculous NCAA Tournament run, becoming the first 15-seed to make it to the Sweet Sixteen.  Mercer will be going for its 3rd NCAA Tournament berth and first since 1985.
• In the NEC, 4-seed Mount St. Mary's continued its improbably run, knocking off 2-seed Wagner to set up a date for the Dance on Tuesday night with top-seeded Robert Morris, who squeaked by St. Francis (PA) 60-57.  Mount St. Mary's will be going for its 4th NCAA Tournament berth and first since 2008, while Robert Morris will be going for its 8th NCAA Tournament berth and first since 2010, when, as a 15-seed, the Colonials took Villanova to OT in the first round.
• In the Horizon League, the top two seeds went down, as 3-seed Wright State took down 2-seed Cleveland State, and top seed Green Bay was upended by in-state rival Milwaukee, setting up Tuesday night's championship game, which will be in Dayton.  Wright State will be going for its 3rd NCAA Tournament berth and first since 2007, while Milwaukee will be going for its 4th NCAA Tournament berth and first since 2006.
• In the Patriot League, 1-seed Boston University and 2-seed American advanced to Wednesday night's final.  BU is going for its 8th NCAA Tournament berth and first since 2011, and American is going for its 3rd NCAA Tournament berth and first since 2009.
• In the quarterfinals of the WCC, top-seed Gonzaga needed a last-second lay-in from David Stockton (son of John) to beat 9-seed Santa Clara.

Now things really start to get fun, as multiple bids will be clinched today, tomorrow, and Tuesday.  Also, today is the last day of the regular season, so all conference tournament seeds will be set after today.

*Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Grambling, Mississippi Valley State, and Southern are ineligible to compete in the NCAA Tournament for failing to meet the NCAA's APR requirements, but they are allowed to participate in the SWAC Tournament.  If one of the ineligible teams wins the tournament, the team among the six eligible teams that advances the furthest in the tournament will receive the conference's NCAA tournament bid.  If there is a tie (for example, all remaining tournament-eligible teams are eliminated in the same round), the automatic berth will go to the highest-seeded team.  Thus, under my predictions here, Texas Southern would get the automatic bid.
