Conference Tournaments Tipping Off Today

MEAC
#1 seed:  Norfolk State
Team Most Likely to Spring Upset:  The Battle for Seed 67 (Liberty has 68 sewn up).  Hampton has as much of a chance as anyone

Mountain West
#1 seed:  New Mexico
Team Most Likely to Spring Upset:  Quite possibly the most wide open at this point; would it surprise anyone if any of New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, Boise State, Colorado State, or even Air Force won it?

Big East
#1 seed: Georgetown 
Team Most Likely to Spring Upset:  Another tournament wide open; some team always gets hot out of the Big East at the right time.  From a top line look Louisville actually looks like the favorite but I wouldn’t count out Syracuse getting hot again.  Where’s Eric Devendorf when you need him (it’s a joke, nobody cares what street corner Eric Devendorf is on right now)

WAC
#1 seed: Louisiana Tech 
Team Most Likely to Spring Upset:  LaTech dominated the conference going undefeated until the last two games of the season.  These losses probably remove them from at-large consideration.  That combined with the fact that I believe Denver will win this tournament relegates the Bulldogs to the NIT
