The Sun Belt conference tournament championship finished first with (2) James Madison stomping on inferior opponent (4) Arkansas State 91-71. 23 people were rewarded with a pool win, including 5 cellar dwellers finally getting on the board with a point. James Madison is a team that can make the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament. 🏀
In the Southern conference tournament championship game, a 1-seed finally won as (1) Samford beat (7) East Tennessee State in a game that was good at times, but mostly in control by Samford. Samford is not a team that can make the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament, maybe they can steal a game though. However, everyone in our pool now has a win! 🏆
Other notable, crippling pool teams to lose conference games today include 4-seed St. Thomas (Summit League), 4-seed Weber State (Big Sky), and I'm sure we'll have plenty more tonight.
The current standings can be found here, Matthew is hanging on to 1st place by a thread, with Sohler, Heffron, Fuss, and Whit right behind him. Although it is early on, we can see how much it helps to go out on a limb and pick lower seeded teams that can give you bonus points. Sohler is an interesting one to watch as his accuracy is 50%, he can sneak into first very quickly with that level of accuracy.
On Tuesday we will have FIVE conference championship games, which has the capability to turn these standings upside down. I'll start pulling together a blog entry to preview Tuesday's championship games, as well as to clean up all the late night losses we're going to see tonight.
