Updated Championship Week Predictions: "Dolphin"

In only the second day of Championship Week, the first 1-seed to play was knocked out!  In the A-Sun quarterfinals, the lowest-seeded team in the A-Sun Tournament, 10-seed Jacksonville, downed 1-seed Eastern Kentucky and on the Colonels home court, no less!  Madness!  Somewhere Artis Gilmore is dancing.  In honor of the Dolphins' upset, today's song is "Dolphin," off of the 1995 album The Gold Experience, released by the artist formerly and futurely known as Prince, but who went by a symbol at the time.  God, I miss the '90s.

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

• In the A-Sun quarterfinals, there were four close games.  As noted above, 10-seed Jacksonville beat top seed Eastern Kentucky, 67-65, 2-seed Stetson staved off 8-seed Queens, 91-83, 6-seed North Alabama upset 3-seed Lipscomb, 77-75, and 4-seed Austin Peay outlasted 5-seed North Florida, 101-98 in OT, to advance to tomorrow's semifinals.  If Stetson and North Alabama win their respective semifinal matchups, either school will be playing in its first ever NCAA Tournament.  My prediction that Stetson would win the A-Sun Tournament is looking good, at least for the time being.
• In the First Round of the Horizon, everything went chalk, as 6-seed Milwaukee topped 11-seed Detroit, 83-79, 7-seed Cleveland State trounced 10-seed IUPUI, 85-66, and 8-seed Purdue Fort Wayne beat up on 9-seed Robert Morris, 78-63, to advance to tomorrow's quarterfinals.
• In the First Round of the Patriot, 7-seed Navy downed 10-seed Loyola (MD), 64-48, and 9-seed Holy Cross crushed 8-seed Army, 84-68, to advance to tomorrow's quarterfinals.  Army still remains one of three original D-1 programs that has never been to the NCAA Tournament.
• In the First Round of the Sun Belt, 11-seed Texas State needed OT to take care of 14-seed Old Dominion, 92-83, while 13-seed Coastal Carolina outlasted 12-seed Louisiana Monroe, 75-71, to advance to tomorrow's second round.
• Three conference tournaments start today (Big South, NEC, OVC), and those are the only conference tournaments that have games today.
• One conference tournament has quarterfinals today (NEC).
• 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:  2-seed Stetson, 6-seed North Alabama
• Big South:  1-seed High Point, 6-seed Presbyterian, 8-seed South Carolina Upstate
• Horizon:  2-seed Youngstown State, 8-seed Purdue Ft. Wayne
• NEC:  2-seed Merrimack, 3-seed Sacred Heart
• OVC:  2-seed Tennessee Martin, 4-seed Western Illinois, 6-seed SIU Edwardsville
• 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.
