Definitely mixed up the Big South with the SoCon. So Con was in hippieville
 
Pulling for UNCW. I’ve made a small fortune betting on them in conference play.
 
So far we haven't really had any huge outliers win a conference tournament yet. Wofford was a #6 seed, but their NET was only about 20 spots below the #1 seed. 1-6 in the So Con were pretty bunched up.

That could change tonight though. Delaware, St Francis and Youngstown State will all almost assuredly be placed in Dayton if they were to win (maybe not Youngstown State depending on other outcomes). Delaware and St Francis being two of the worst teams to ever make it, potentially. As a by product that would really weaken the potential 15 seeds.

The PL and SWAC champs are in Dayton no matter what, if Delaware and St Francis win, that's pretty much a wrap on Dayton with those 4. Unless someone besides Norfolk State wins the MEAC.

CCSU, UNCW and Robert Morris winning would be huge for the competitiveness of the lower part of the tournament.

That was a great game, lots of threes late

Another great game. Was hoping South Carolina would get 4 tournament teams again

Charleston choked hard at the end of the game.

2 point game with 10 seconds left, guy gets fouled and misses BOTH FTs, Charleston gets the rebound though and calls TO, almost turns it over on the inbounds, then after a 2nd inbounds guy loses his dribble and turns it over, UNCW hits 2 FTs to ice the game.
 
St. Francis beats CCSU. Brutal. Might be the worst team to ever make the tournament. Wow.

Props to them for getting it done, but they are awful. Maryland beat them by almost 60 back in December. Lmao. CCSU choked this game away. Played tight the entire game.

Lost by 30 to Penn State and Dayton too lol. If they happen to win their 1st 4 game that's gonna be a very ugly 1/16.

Yeah, it could get very very ugly. They should, in theory, play the best 16 seed in Dayton, but I'm not sure they can even win that. CCSU was one of the best NEC teams in a looooong time, and they wasted it.
 
St. Mary's closes the half on a good run. Nembhard picks up a dumb T right before the half. Should be a good 2nd half.
 
At least 3 NC teams will be dancing

Duke
HPU
UNCW
 
Gonzaga gonna be in foul trouble here
