Updated Championship Week Predictions: "Let's Go"

Like I've done in the past, I'm going to try to include a song each day that applies to the current Championship Week events, be it an upset, a team, a buzzer beater, or just a general vibe of madness.  Things are getting going early on, so today's song is "Let's Go" by The Cars.

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

• In the NEC quarterfinals, 1-seed LIU held on for a 79-75 win over 8-seed Chicago State, 7-seed Wagner upset 2-seed Central Connecticut State, 70-60, 3-seed Mercyhurst beat 6-seed Fairleigh Dickinson, 70-61, and 5-seed Stonehill downed 4-seed Le Moyne, 81-71, to advance to Saturday's semifinals.
• In the Second Round of the Sun Belt, 9-seed James Madison beat 12-seed Louisiana, 87-72, and 10-seed Georgia Southern overcame a Sun Belt Tournament record 45 points from Jordan Battle to beat 11-seed Old Dominion,88-84, to advance to today's Third Round
• In the First Round of the A-Sun, 5-seed Florida Gulf Coast downed 12-seed North Alabama, 69-58, 6-seed West Georgia held off 11-seed North Florida, 93-85, 10-seed Stetson trounced 7-seed Eastern Kentucky, 92-76, and 8-seed Bellarmine eked by 9-seed Jacksonville, 82-79, to advance to Friday's quarterfinals.
• In the First Round of the Big South, 9-seed Gardner-Webb got two free throws with 14 seconds left to beat 8-seed USC Upstate, to advance to Friday's quarterfinals.
• In the First Rounds of the Horizon, top seed Wright State handled 10-seed Cleveland State, 90-61, 2-seed Robert Morris toppled 9-seed Youngstown State, 68-53, 3-seed Detroit Mercy crushed Milwaukee, 84-63, and 7-seed Northern Kentucky upset 4-seed Oakland, 85-84.  The Horizon has a weird format this year, so Northern Kentucky will be playing 5-seed Green Bay on Sunday.  The winner of that game and the other three winners from today will advance to Monday's quarterfinals.
• In the First Round of the OVC, 8-seed Eastern Illinois upset 5-seed (and last year's OVC champ) SIU Edwardsville, 77-71, and 6-seed Lindenwood held off 7-seed Little Rock, 72-62, to advance to today's quarterfinals.
• In the First Round of the Summit, 8-seed Oral Roberts destroyed 9-seed Kansas City, 84-62, to advance to today's quarterfinals.
• 3 conference tournaments start today, and 7 conference tournaments have games today.
• Three conference tournaments have quarterfinals today (OVC, Patriot, Summit).
• Here are the teams that have never been to the NCAA Tournament (not including teams who are ineligible for this year's NCAA Tournament):
• America East:  3-seed NJIT, 4-seed UMass Lowell, 6-seed Maine, 8-seed New Hampshire
• Atlantic Sun:  1-seed Central Arkansas, 3-seed Queens, 8-seed Bellarmine
