Conference Tournament Previews - 3/6

MEAC:
Favorite – Savannah State

Potential Upset – Bethune Cookman

Hi! My winner will play…and lose Tuesday or Wednesday night. That is all.

Mountain West:
Favorite – Pick 1 of 3

Potential Upset – Colorado State

Currently the MWC has 4 teams in the bracket but Colorado State will need to win at least 1 to stay in. Two wins for them and they are a lock. UNLV, San Diego State, and New Mexico are locks already. This tournament is wide open but I’m leaning with UNLV.

Big East:
Favorite – Syracuse

Potential Upset – Marquette

Talk about wide open…there are a ton of possibilities here. Multiple teams need at least 1 win to stay in the bracket. West Virginia, Cincinnati, Seton Hall, and Connecticut best not lose right away. I see this tournament coming down to the top 2 seeds however. Let’s go with Marquette in the mild upset over Syracuse Saturday night.

Atlantic 10:
Favorite – Temple

Potential Upset – St. Louis

What started out as a dream season for Xavier has fallen apart. At one point they were a 5 seed and now they are the last team in. The drew a bye but will have to get by Dayton or George Washington to stay in my bracket. The top seeds are Temple and St. Louis, both of whom will be under seeded next week. I look for a lot of upsets in this tournament with St. Louis ultimately getting the auto-bid
