One bid going out tonight:
Patriot – 4. Lafayette vs 6. American – Play In City Baby!
9 Conferences Kick Off Today. Here’s a preview of the
first couple:
Conference USA
#1 Seed – Louisiana Tech
Team Most Likely to Upset #1 Seed – Old Dominion
ODU is the only team with a real shot at an at-large bid and
they would almost certainly have to make the final and please well.
Louisiana Tech is an intriguing team but I think ODU has the better chance to
make a splash in the NCAA’s
Big 12
#1 Seed – Kansas
Team Most Likely to Upset #1 Seed – Iowa State, Oklahoma,
Baylor, or West Virginia
A lot of these teams have been playing well down the stretch
and I could see any of the top 5 seeds winning it. All of them are top 5
seeds in the NCAA and should probably remain there no matter what happens
Mountain West
#1 Seed – Boise State
Team Most Likely to Upset #1 Seed – Colorado State
Yep, you don’t see San Diego State there. They are a
lock for the tournament but Boise State has been on fire and Colorado State
just isn’t getting respect. Their computer numbers are a bit inflated but
they are a solid team that seems to still be on the bubble.
Big East
#1 Seed – Villanova
Team Most Likely to Upset #1 Seed – The winner of the
Butler/Xavier game
It’s likely that that the Big East gets 6 teams in the
tournament. In fact, it’s almost a lock. St. John’s is a tricky
team to figure out but I really like this Xavier team. I think if they
can get by Butler, which won’t be easy they can take out Georgetown and give
Nova’ a run.
