Conference tournaments start this week with the Big South kicking off the action tonight. With the beginning of each tournament, we'll look at the expected winner and what upsets could mean to bubble teams.
BIG SOUTH:
The prohibitive favorite is UNC-Asheville who projects as a 16 seed play-in, in Brian's latest bracket. Even with another team emerging, it won't mean anything in the big picture as it's a one-bid league.
Coastal Carolina, school of Dustin Johnson, would be the likely team to upset Asheville. The Chanticleers have not been to the dance since 1993 when they got waxed by the Fab Five. FYI, they are coached by Cliff Ellis who had some success at Clemson & Auburn.
Not counting play-in victories and I don't because I'm a miserable SOB, the Big South only has one win in tournament history from 2007 when Winthrop beat Notre Dame.
