Monmouth and Bids

For the time being I have Monmouth as the first team out with the caveat that more than likely one of the last 10 in will get upset early in their conference tournament and fall out.  These teams include:

Pittsburgh
Vanderbilt
Syracuse
Connecticut
Butler
Cincinnati
Oregon State
VCU
St. Bonaventure
USC

Bids Going out tonight:

NEC - Wagner vs FDU 16 seed city!

Horizon - Wright State vs UWGB 15 seed city!

Summit - South Dakota St vs North Dakota St The Jackrabbits have surprisingly high RPI, 36, so I can see them sliding in right around 12/13.

West Coast - St. Mary's vs Gonzaga looking at this more this morning has me thinking the Zags may need this win to get in.

Tournments Starting Tonight:

Cusa- Favorite:  UAB
Man, the Cusa has really fallen.  UAB is the best here by far and they are projected as a 14 seed.  Imagine if they get upset!

SWAC - Favorite:  Texas Southern
Alcorn State is the 1 seed but they are academically ineligible

Big Sky- Favorite: Weber St
I'd be shocked if this bid doesn't go to Weber St or Montana

ACC- Favorite: North Carolina
UNC is the favorite but I could see any of the top 4 seeds winning.  I hope Virginia wins it and becomes the first 1 seed to lose to a 16 seed.
