Updated Championship Week Predictions

Here are the highlights from yesterday's Championship Week action:

In the OVC semis, we saw another 1-seed go down, as 8-seed Austin Peay continued its Cinderella run by beating Belmont 97-96 in OT, after a last-second, would-be-game-winning shot by Belmont was waved off because it wasn't out of the shooter's hands when the clock hit zero.  In the other semi, Tennessee-Martin knocked off Morehead State.  Austin Peay and Tennessee-Martin will battle tonight at 6 p.m. Eastern on ESPN2 for this year's first ticket to the Big Dance.  The Governors are going for their 7th NCAA Tournament and first since 2008, while the Skyhawks are playing for their first NCAA Tournament berth.

In the Ivy League, which is the only Division 1 conference without a conference tournament, Yale defeated Cornell, while Princeton fell to Harvard.  This puts Yale a game up in the loss column on Princeton.  If Yale beats Columbia tonight OR if Princeton loses to Dartmouth tonight or Penn on Tuesday, then Yale is going to its first NCAA Tournament since 1962.  That's the Kennedy Administration, people.  Kennedy was a Harvard guy.  Coincidence?  Most likely.

In the MVC, top-seeded Wichita State had a scare from 8-seed Loyola, before pulling away in the final two minutes.  Bubble teams everywhere breathed a sigh of relief.

Other than that, there wasn't anything too out of the ordinary in the Big South, CAA, MAAC, SoCon, or WCC.

Two more tournaments start today (the Horizon League and Summit League).

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.
