Big South

Tomorrow afternoon, the always unpredictable Big South tournament kicks off.

In the last 4 seasons, the conference has sent its regular season champion only once to the NCAA's when they sent Asheville two seasons ago. Last year's tournament winner was 15-21 Liberty.

The conference is split into two divisions, North and South. High Point won the North (12-4) and Coastal Carolina won the South (11-5).

Via KenPom, here are the top 5 teams

- UNC Asheville, 10-6 (16-14), 223rd Ken Pom

- VMI, 11-5 (18-11), 226th KenPom

- Winthrop, 10-6 (17-12), 228th KenPom

- High Point, 12-4 (16-13), 250th KenPom

- Coastal Carolina, 11-5 (18-12), 253rd KenPom

I'll pick UNC Asheville to win despite Coastal Carolina hosting the whole tourney in Myrtle Beach.
