Other conf tournaments

This Zags/Saint Mary's game is great. Zags have to win to get in. I'm pulling for them. Zags up three with 7 to play. Only negative is Dickie V is doing the game.

Hate to agree with [deleted] but they have to get the ball to Sabonis. Come on.

Of course it was a Texan who hit the big shot. Saint Mary's will get in and no one wants to play them in the first round. They are very dangerous.

18 straight NCAA tournament appearances is ridiculous.

Holy Cross just won the Patriot League tourney upsetting Lehigh in the championship game AT LEHIGH.

HOLY CROSS was 4-12 in conference play and did not win a single road game.

Lehigh just won four straight road games travelng more than 2000 miles by bus this week to win the tourney.

Wow. March Madness.

That probably takes a spot for one of the AAC bubble teams.

Aac is a 1 team league. Joe lunardi has 0 locks and like 4 bubble teams predicted. You know how that will pan out

AAC will get more than one in. Most likely three.

It's a great story, but makes for a crappier tourney and devalues the regular season. I'm finding myself hating what's become of the selection process between the RPI, SOS and all other metrics, coupled w one off tourney winners from leagues that don't pass the sniff test.

MEH….they get their one team. Who really cares if it's Bucknell, Lehigh or Holy Cross? One and done.

There are 64 teams in round 1, not 4.
