This Afternoon's Bids

SWAC 

Prairie View A&M vs Southern - It's a battle for a 16 seed. Prairie is a play in game candidate while Southern probably is one of the 16's who doesn't play early.

Prediction:  Southern

MEAC

Morgan State vs North Carolina A&T - the MEAC's 5 seed against the 7 seed.   These teams might take seed 68 away from Liberty.

Prediction:  Morgan State

Big 12

Kansas vs Kansas State - Kansas will probably grab the last #1 seed over Duke with a win here.

Prediction: Kansas

Mountain West

New Mexico vs UNLV - Should be awesome.  New Mexico might be able to sneak out a 2 seed with a win.

Prediction:  New Mexico

MAC

Ohio vs Akron - neither will get an at large but both could cause some Havoc come next weekend.

Prediction:  Akron

Big East

Syracuse vs Louisville - Lousiville locks in a #1 seed with a win, if they haven't already.  Syracuse is looking to end their Big East run with a tournament championship

Prediction:  Louisville

Southland

Stephen F. Austin vs Northwestern State - SFA has been running away with this league and were legitamite at-large candidates as of about 6 weeks ago. 

Prediction:  SFA

Big Sky

Montana vs Weber State - The 1 and 2 battle it out for the Big Sky auto-bid.  We're looking at a couple 15 seeds here

Prediction:  Weber State

Big West

Pacific vs UC-Irvine - I'd love to be able to cheer for the Anteaters but Pacific is too much for them.  Long Beach State was bitten again.

Prediction:  Pacific

Pac-12

UCLA vs Oregon - Oregon is starting to look like they did before Artis got hurt.  This is one team that that could be a mid seed that goes far.

Prediction:  Oregon

WAC

New Mexico State vs UT-Arlington - I'm cheering for NMst because they have a 7-3 guy who's fun to watch.  Now that's big time analysis.

Prediction:  New Mexico State
