Updated Championship Week Predictions: "St. Louis Blues"

Today's song is Bessie Smith's early blues classic "St. Louis Blues" because in the MVC Tournament -- which is taking place in St. Louis -- three of the top four seeds fell in the quarterfinals.  Madness!

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

• In the OVC semifinals, top seed Tennessee State took down in-state rival 4-seed Tennessee Martin, 68-55, and 2-seed Morehead State topped 3-seed Southeast Missouri State, 66-61.  When they face off in tonight's championship game, the Tigers will be playing for their 3rd NCAA Tournament berth and first since 1994, while the Eagles will be playing for their 10th berth and first since 2024.
• In the A-Sun quarterfinals, 1-seed Central Arkansas bounced 8-seed Bellarmine, 86-73, 2-seed Austin Peay beat 10-seed Stetson, 69-60, 3-seed Queens downed 6-seed West Georgia, 71-63, and 5-seed Florida Gulf Coast upset 4-seed Lipscomb, 77-53, to advance to today's semifinals.
• In the Big South quarters, top seed High Point cruised to an 81-59 win over 9-seed Gardner-Webb, 2-seed Winthrop needed a second-half comeback to beat 7-seed Charleston Southern, 6-seed Presbyterian upset 3-seed Radford in OT, 91-85, and 4-seed UNC Asheville beat 5-seed Longwood in OT, 85-82, to advance to today's semifinals.
• In the first half of the MAAC quarterfinals, 1-seed Merrimack annihilated 9-seed Sacred Heart, 70-48, and 7-seed Fairfield upset 2-seed St. Peter's, 74-55, to advance to Sunday's semifinals.
• In the MVC quarters, 9-seed Drake walloped 1-seed Belmont, 100-79, while 2-seed Bradley needed OT to beat 7-seed Valparaiso, 90-84, 6-seed Northern Iowa upset 3-seed Illinois State, 74-52, and 5-seed UIC took down 4-seed Murray State, 92-79, to advance to today's semifinals.
• In the second half of the Summit League quarterfinals, 3-seed North Dakota made easy work of 6-seed Denver, 83-67, and 5-seed Omaha beat up on 4-seed South Dakota, 76-62, to advance to today's semis.
• In the Fourth Round of the Sun Belt, both of the lower-seeded teams won, as 8-seed Southern Miss knocked off 5-seed Texas State, 81-77, and 10-seed Georgia Southern upset 6-seed South Alabama, 94-85, to advance to today's quarterfinals.
• In the Second Round of the WCC, 7-seed Seattle eked by 11-seed San Diego, 58-56.  Somewhere Elgin Baylor is smiling.  Probably from a cemetery in Hollywood Hills.  And in the other game, 9-seed Portland topped 8-seed Washington State, 74-68, to advance to today's Third Round.
• In the First Round of the CAA, 13-seed Northeastern trounced 12-seed North Carolina A&T, 88-72, to advance to today's Second Round.
• In the First Round of the SoCon, 7-seed UNC Greensboro beat 10-seed VMI, 84-70, and 9-seed The Citadel topped 8-seed Chattanooga, 88-85, to advance to today's quarterfinals.
• 2 conference tournaments start today, and 13 conference tournaments have games today.
• 4 conference tournaments have quarterfinals today (America East, MAAC, SoCon, Sun Belt), 5 conference tournaments have semifinals today (A-Sun, Big South, MVC, NEC, Summit), and one conference tournament has its championship game 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:
• America East:  3-seed NJIT, 4-seed UMass Lowell, 6-seed Maine, 8-seed New Hampshire
