Our first two bids have been clinched, and both in dramatic fashion! And we had some more top 4 seeds go down prematurely. In honor of Utah State's MWC title win over the San Diego State Aztecs, the song today is "Good Morning Aztlán" by Los Lobos, mainly because I planned to use this song when I assumed SDSU would win, as Aztlán is ancestral home of the Aztecs, and it's just a great song.
Here is what happened in yesterday's Championship Week action and what we have to look forward to today:
Here is what happened in yesterday's Championship Week action and what we have to look forward to today:
- In the Mountain West final, 2-seed Utah State upset top seed San Diego State, 59-56, on a late three from Sam Merrill, proving the best way to get off the bubble is to win an automatic bid. The Aggies will be playing in their 22nd NCAA Tournament appearance and second in a row.
- In the OVC final, 1-seed Belmont got the game-winning layup with three seconds left to beat 2-seed Murray State, avenging the Bruins' OVC title game losses to the Racers in the previous two seasons. The Bruins will be going to their 9th NCAA Tournament appearance and 2nd in a row.
- In the Missouri Valley semis, 4-seed Bradley beat 8-seed Drake, 76-66, and 7-seed Valparaiso topped 6-seed Missouri State, 89-82, to advance to today's championship game. The Braves will be playing for their 10th trip to the Big Dance and second in a row, and the Crusaders will also be playing for their 10th trip and first since 2015 (and first since moving to the MVC).
- In the NEC semis, 1-seed Robert Morris stomped 4-seed LIU, 86-66, and 2-seed St. Francis (PA) topped 3-seed Sacred Heart, 84-72. When they meet in Tuesday's title game, the Colonials will be playing for their 9th NCAA Tournament bid and first since 2015, and the Red Flash will be playing for their 2nd bid and first since 1991.
- In the America East quarterfinals, it all went chalk, as top-seed Vermont, 2-seed Stony Brook, 3-seed Hartford, and 4-seed UMBC advanced to Tuesday night's semis.
- In the quarterfinals of the SoCon, 1-seed East Tennessee State beat 9-seed VMI, 70-57, but they were the only higher seed to win, as 2-seed Furman was upset by 7-seed Wofford, 77-68, 3-seed UNC Greensboro lost 6-seed Chattanooga, 76-68, 5-seed Western Carolina beat 4-seed Mercer, 70-56. The semis are today.
- Things got interesting in the first half of the Summit quarterfinals, top seed North Dakota State squeaked by 8-seed Denver, 71-69, and 2-seed South Dakota State was upset by 7-seed Purdue Fort Wayne, 77-74. The second half of the quarterfinals is today.
- In the third round of the WCC tournament, 3-seed St. Mary's needed two overtimes to outlast 6-seed Pepperdine, 89-82, and 5-seed San Francisco downed 4-seed Pacific, 72-54. Somewhere, K.C. Jones is smiling. The WCC takes a one-day hiatus until tomorrow night's semifinals.
- In the first round of the Colonial, 7-seed Elon and 8-seed Drexel advanced to today's quarterfinals.
- In the first round of the Sun Belt, 10-seed Coastal Carolina beat 7-seed UT Arlington, 63-62, and 8-seed Louisiana beat 9-seed Arkansas State, 73-66, to advance to the second round, which will be tomorrow.
- 3 bids are up for grabs today: Atlantic Sun, Big South, and Missouri Valley.
- No conference tournaments start today, but 7 conference tournaments have games today, including 2 conferences with semifinals, 2 with quarterfinals, and 3 championship games.
- Bubble teams that won yesterday (in conference tournaments): East Tennessee State; St. Mary's; Utah State

Because I am unhealthily obsessed with college basketball in March -- to the detriment of my marriage, children, friendships, work, sleep schedule, sanity, wallet, water aerobics league, and loyalty to Set -- I have not only listed out every game and my predictions, but the date, time, and TV station(s) on which the game will appear, even if it's just local, regional, or online, to the extent that information is available. Some conference tournament websites are better than others. I want this to be as comprehensive as possible, so that you can always come here to figure out when any given team is playing. I love you so much, you guys. Don't you ever forget it.
