Updated Championship Week Predictions: "Disco Duck"

Today's Championship Week song is Rick Dees' novelty hit "Disco Duck," in honor of my Hoosiers laying an egg against the Oregon Ducks.  I hate everything about that last sentence, but the video -- which is a performance from Top of the Pops, mind you -- is ridiculous.

Other than that it was a pretty damn exciting day of action yesterday, with three double OT games, 24 games decided by five points or less, and several buzzer beaters.

Today, from the start of the VCU/St. Bonaventure game in the A-10 quarterfinals at 11:30 a.m. ET to the end of the Colorado State/Utah State game in the Mountain West semis that tips off at 11:59 p.m. ET, we have 38 games across 15 conference tournaments, spanning 14 hours.  Giggity!

Here's what happened yesterday and what we have to look forward to today:

• In the ACC quarterfinals, 1-seed Duke beat 8-seed Georgia Tech, 78-70, but lost stars Cooper Flagg and Maliq Brown to injuries, 2-seed Louisville came back from 15 down in the second half to beat 7-seed Stanford, 75-73, on a Chucky Hepburn buzzer beater, 3-seed Clemson won a close one against 6-seed SMU, 57-54, and 5-seed North Carolina topped 4-seed Wake Forest, 68-59, likely getting the Tar Heels into the NCAA Tournament and bursting the Demon Deacons' bubble, to advance to tonight's semifinals.
• In the Big 12 quarters, top seed Houston ended 16-seed Colorado's Cinderella run with a 77-68 win, 2-seed Texas Tech held off 7-seed Baylor, 76-74, 3-seed Arizona defeated 6-seed Kansas, 88-77, and 4-seed BYU topped 5-seed Iowa State, 96-92, to advance to tonight's semis.
• In the Big East quarterfinals, 1-seed St. John's made easy work of 9-seed Butler, 78-57, 2-seed Creighton, in a double OT thriller, came back from a 17-point second-half deficit to beat 10-seed DePaul, 85-81, 3-seed UConn pulled away to beat 6-seed Villanova, 73-56, and 5-seed Marquette overcame a 14-point second-half deficit to beat 4-seed Xavier, 89-87, to advance to today's semis.
• In the Big West quarters, 7-seed Cal Poly upset 3-seed UC Riverside, 96-83, and 5-seed UC Santa Barbara upended 4-seed Cal State Northridge, 78-72, to advance to tonight's semifinals.
• In the second half of the C-USA quarterfinals, 3-seed Middle Tennessee State took two overtimes to beat 6-seed Louisiana Tech, 77-75, and 4-seed Kennesaw State survived 5-seed New Mexico State, 80-77, to advance to today's semifinals.
• In the second half of the MAAC quarterfinals, 6-seed Mount St. Mary's upset 3-seed Marist, 62-58, and 4-seed Iona bounced 5-seed Manhattan, 77-65, to advance to this evening's semifinals.
• In the quarterfinals of the miggity-miggity-miggity-miggity-miggity-miggity-MAC, 1-seed Akron throttled 8-seed Bowling Green, 96-67, 2-seed Miami (OH) staved off 7-seed Eastern Michigan, 81-75, 3-seed Kent State beat 6-seed Western Michigan, 73-66, and 4-seed Toledo got by 5-seed Ohio, 90-85 in OT, to advance to this evening's semis.
• In the second half of the MEAC quarterfinals, 6-seed North Carolina Central upset 3-seed Delaware State, 79-77, on a buzzer-beating layup, and 5-seed Morgan State got a layup with ten seconds left to beat 4-seed Howard, 91-90, to advance to tonight's semis.
• In the Mountain West quarters, 1-seed New Mexico downed 8-seed San Jose State, 63-52, 2-seed Colorado State dumped 7-seed Nevada, 67-59, 3-seed Utah State rolled 6-seed UNLV, 70-58, and 5-seed Boise State kept its NCAA Tournament hopes alive with a 62-52 win over 4-seed San Diego State, to advance to tonight's semifinals.
• In the second half of the SWAC quarterfinals, 3-seed Bethune-Cookman disposed of 6-seed Alcorn State, 69-60, and 5-seed Alabama State bounced 4-seed Texas Southern, to advance to today's semifinals.
• In the second half of the WAC quarterfinals, 3-seed Cal Baptist eliminated 6-seed Tarleton, 55-51, and 5-seed Seattle beat 4-seed Abilene Christian, 69-63, to advance to tonight's semis.

• In the Second Round of the A-10, everything went chalk, as 5-seed St. Louis beat 12-seed Davidson, 83-75, 6-seed St. Joseph's held off 14-seed LaSalle, 75-70, 7-seed George Washington rammed 15-seed Fordham, 88-81, and 8-seed St. Bonaventure dropped 9-seed Duquesne, 64-59, to advance to today's quarterfinals.
• In the Second Round of the Big Ten, 5-seed Wisconsin ousted 13-seed Northwestern, 70-63, 6-seed Purdue, in a back-and-forth affair, finally finished off 14-seed USC, 76-71, 7-seed Illinois stamped out 15-seed Iowa, 106-94, and 8-seed Oregon likely burst by beloved 9-seed Hoosiers' bubble with a 72-59 defeat, to advance to today's quarterfinals.
• In the Second Round of the SEC, 13-seed Texas boosted its NCAA Tournament hopes with an exciting 94-89 double OT win over rival 5-seed Texas A&M, 6-seed Kentucky got a jumper with less than a second left to beat 14-seed Oklahoma, 85-84, 7-seed Missouri beat 10-seed Mississippi State, 85-73, and 8-seed Mississippi State eked by 9-seed Arkansas, 83-80, to advanced to today's quarterfinals.
