Updated Championship Week Predictions: "Rebels of the Sacred Heart"

Today's song is Flogging Molly's "Rebels of the Sacred Heart," in honor of both the coming of St. Patrick's Day (and the fact that I'm listening to a lot of Flogging Molly) and MAAC 9-seed Sacred Heart keeping its slim hopes of its first-ever NCAA Tournament berth alive with a win over 8-seed and perennial MAAC stalwart Iona.

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

• In the OVC quarterfinals, 3-seed Southeast Missouri State hit the game-winning bucket with 3.1 seconds left to beat6-seed Lindenwood, 68-66, and 4-seed Tennessee Martin held off 8-seed Eastern Illinois, 66-63, to advance to today's semis.
• The Patriot League quarters went chalk, as top seed Navy downed 8-seed Bucknell, 74-69, 2-seed Lehigh survived 10-seed Holy Cross, 69-66, 3-seed Colgate topped 6-seed Loyola (MD), 90-77, and 4-seed Boston hit a jumper with 2 seconds left to beat 5-seed American, 75-73, to advance to Sunday's semifinals.
• In the first half of the Summit League quarterfinals, 1-seed North Dakota State disposed of 8-seed Oral Roberts, 76-65, and 2-seed St. Thomas knocked off 7-seed South Dakota State, 80-67, to advance to Saturday's semis.
• In the Third Round of the Sun Belt, 8-seed Southern Miss dropped 9-seed James Madison, 86-80, and 10-seed Georgia Southern upset 7-seed Arkansas State, 80-77, to advance to today's Fourth Round.  And yes, there are four rounds in the Sun Belt Tournament before the quarterfinals.
• In the First Round of the MAAC, 7-seed Fairfield beat 10-seed Manhattan, 71-60, and 9-seed Sacred Heart bumped 8-seed Iona, 91-80, to advance to today's quarterfinals.
• In the First Round of the MVC, 6-seed Northern Iowa held off 11-seed Evansville, 68-59, 7-seed Valparaiso came back from ten down with eight minutes left to beat 10-seed Indiana State, 63-62, and 9-seed Drake outlasted 8-seed Southern Illinois, 67-63, to advance to today's quarterfinals.
• In the First Round of the WCC, 9-seed Portland beat 12-seed Pepperdine, 77-68, and 11-seed San Diego ousted 10-seed Loyola Marymount, 66-62, to advance to today's Second Round.
• 2 conference tournaments start today, and 10 conference tournaments have games today.
• 5 conference tournaments have quarterfinals today (A-Sun, Big South, MAAC, MVC, Summit), and one conference tournaments have semifinals today (OVC).
• Here are the teams that have never been to the NCAA Tournament (not including teams who are ineligible for this year's NCAA Tournament) that are still alive:
