Bids and More

 Lots of solid action yesterday as the conference tournaments wind down.  11 Bids go out today and there are a lot of 1 vs 2 seeds.  It should make for some great action later tonight.  The day starts out this morning with UMBC vs Vermont and ends with Cal Baptist vs Utah Valley.  It will be a great day to sit, relax, and watch some basketball.

Those who won't be relaxing are SMU, Texas, and Missouri.  I have all 3 team in right now but there are some bid stealers still alive.  The biggest one today is San Diego State, who is my first team out.  They play Utah State in the Mountain West Championship and a win there will push out a team.  Right now I'm leaning Texas but it's worth a second or third look.

Other bid stealers out there are from the A-10 and SEC. Mississippi is streaking and would need to beat Arkansas today and probably Florida tomorrow.  Not impossible but not likely either.  The A-10 has St. Joseph's vs VCU and Dayton vs Saint Louis.  Dayton or St. Joe's could take a spot up with 2 wins.

A new Bracket will come out later today but until then, enjoy the games
