We'll now continue where we left off and look at the remaining 10 conference tournament championship games taking place tonight. In addition to the 15 conference tournament championship games today, a few other conferences are playing in the semi-finals and the Ivy League tipped off this morning, meaning more losses coming.
SWAC (5:00 PM CST)
All chalk here as (1) Alcorn State plays (2) Texas Southern in yet another important game in the conference tournament pool. While 60% of our picks are with Texas Southern, Pat who is currently in second place is riding Alcorn State making this a big game for him. Texas Southern is favored by 4 points and with a win we could continue to see a log jam at the top of the standings.
Big East (5:30 PM CST)
(2) Villanova plays (4) Creighton in a game where Villanova is favored big. It's hard to tell how this game will impact our standings, but I can tell you that 6 of our top 10 are already eliminated from this conference. Only Jack, who is way down at the bottom of the standings, is on Creighton meaning a Creighton win won't have much of an impact on the pool.
MAC (6:30 PM CST)
Based on how the morning and afternoon games play out, this could end up being a significant pool impacting conference when (2) Kent State matches up against (4) Akron. Tom is all alone with Akron, a win would give him 2 points that nobody else would get, while 40% of our pool is on Kent State. I might have to root against Tom on this one if I am really trying to root for chaos, although Pizzy has Kent State so now my brain is in knots. Kent State is favored by 3 points so let's hope for a buzzer beater or something to make this one exciting.
Big Sky (7:00 PM CST)
(1) Montana State will play (3) Northern Colorado in yet another game that may end up being extremely important to out pool. B.I. and Jack are the only ones on Northern Colorado, but they're so far down the standings a win won't mean much to the overall standings. Only 4 of the top 10 are on Montana State, making a win here important to the top half of the standings. Montana State is favored by almost 5 points so I'm not sure what to expect with this game, looks like it may be an easy win for Montana State.
I'm at the point where I am exhausted from analyzing all these conferences, we still have 6 left to go through and I'm not going through them. I'll continue to post standings and maybe a blog entry or two throughout today and then tomorrow morning we'll see where everyone stands. Good luck today!
