8 days before Selection Sunday and now the bids will start rolling in. First, let's touch on Friday's action, which come from the Missouri Valley. Southern Illinois loses in the quarter final to be eliminated from discussion for a Bid. This closes a dissapointing season for the team I picked as a 5 seed prior to the season. Illinois State wins to move to the Semi-Final and in my mind locks a bid. To be safe they should go ahead and beat Northern Iowa to lock themselves in.
On to today where 3 bids will be given out. First at 10:30 am the Big South wraps up when UNC-Ashville plays Winthorp. Both teams are capable of picking off a top seed in the tournament. Should be a good game and if you get a chance check it out on ESPN2 to get a glimpse of Kenny George. In the Atlantic Sun Belmont takes on Jacksonville at 6pm for the title. The winner of this game is looking like a 15/16 seed so not much to talk about it here. Plus Belmont has been destroyed in the tournament the last two years by UCLA and Georgetown. Lastly, the Ohio Valley Valley kicks off at 4pm with 6 seeded Tennessee State taking on the Governors of Austin Peay. Again, were looking at a 15/16 seed here so besides being able to say Governors there's not much to get excited about.
Oh, and there seems to be another game tonight of some importance, I just can't remember what it is.....
