Like I did the past few years, I'm going to try to include a song each day that applies to the current Championship Week events, be it an upset, a buzzer beater, or just a general vibe. Given that it looks like we might be back to relative normality this year, I'm going with Mark Morrison's "Return of the Mack."
Anywho, only the NEC was in action yesterday, and here's what happened:
- In the First Round of the NEC, the madness begun with the first game of Championship Week, as 9-seed Central Connecticut State got two free throws with 7 seconds left to knock off 8-seed Fairleigh Dickinson, 67-66, to advance to tomorrow's quarterfinals.
- Three conference tournaments start today (A-Sun, Horizon, Patriot), and those are the only conference tournaments with any games today.
- Here are the teams still playing in the conference tournaments that have already started or will start today that have never been to the NCAA Tournament (not including teams who are ineligible for this year's NCAA Tournament):
- Atlantic Sun: W3-seed Central Arkansas, E4-seed Kennesaw State, E6-seed Stetson
- Horizon: 2-seed Purdue Ft. Wayne, 7-seed Youngstown State
- Northeast: 1-seed Bryant, 5-seed St. Francis (Brooklyn), 6-seed Sacred Heart
- Patriot: 5-seed Army
- Bubble teams that won yesterday (in conference tournaments): None
- Bubble teams that lost yesterday (in conference tournaments): None
With that, 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
-Atlantic Sun
-Horizon League
-Patriot League
Tournaments with games today

Already clinched automatic berths (I will add in parentheses the NCAA tournament appearances for each school, including the bid just clinched and last NCAA Tournament appearance where applicable, and for conferences whose tournaments have not yet ended, I'll list the date of the championship game)
