Updated Championship Week Predictions

Two days of Championship Week, and two days with some big upsets in conference tournaments.  Last night in the America East, 2-seed and three-time defending champion Albany went down to 7-seed Hartford.  Somewhere, Vin Baker is dancing, while Great Danes everywhere are crying.  Four more tournaments start today.

Here are the tournaments starting today, the tournaments with games today, bids up for grab today, who has already clinched an automatic berth, and my predictions for the remaining conference tournaments.

Tournaments starting today
-Big South
-Northeast Conference
-MAAC
-Missouri Valley

Tournaments with games today
-Atlantic Sun
-Big South
-MAAC
-Missouri Valley
-Ohio Valley
-Patriot League

Bids up for grabs today
-None

Already clinched automatic berths (I will add in parentheses the NCAA tournament appearances, including the bid just clinched)
-None

Remaining Tournaments (all times are Eastern; to the extent there are teams that have clinched seeds in tournament fields that are not completely set, I will put those in)
