Later Auto Bids - 3/10

Big 12
#2 Missouri vs #4 Baylor
Should be a great game. Can Baylor rise to the occasion? Can Missouri take Kansas’s number 1 seed with a win? Lots of questions.

Pac 12
#4 Arizona vs #6 Colorado.
Yuck. I mean, this is awful! When does the Atlantic 10, Mountain West, or Missouri Valley overtake the Pac 12 as one of the big 6?

Mountain West
#1 San Diego State vs New Mexico
Another top match up of the day. I think New Mexico grabs the win here and slides up to a 6 seed. San Diego stays in the 7/8 range and give a top seed a potential tough out in round 2.

MAC
#1 Akron vs #3 Ohio
The MAC usually represents well in the tournament. Two years ago Ohio upset Georgetown as a 14 seed. Both Akron and Ohio could be a dangerous 14 again this year.

SWAC
#1 Mississippi Valley vs #2 Texas Southern
Mississippi Valley has only lost 1 game in conference and has played the 23rd ranking non-conference schedule. I’m not saying they can beat a 1 next week but they can win today.

Big East
#7 Louisville vs #4 Cincinnati
First to 53 points win. When did the Big East become the Big 10? I long for the old days of the ACC.

Big West
#1 Long Beach State vs #3 UCSB
Will UCSB upset Long Beach State for a third straight year? I don’t think so. The Beach rolls to a 11 seed.

WAC
#2 New Mexico State vs #5 Louisiana Tech
The 1 seed, Nevada, lost last night and we are left with the 2 and 5. New Mexico State had a questionable at large profile so let’s go with them and see if the can pull the upset as a 13 seed
