Although the Fighting Snails didn't make it, we have 5 new conference champions today going to the NCAA Tournament! Let's look at today's champions.
Southern Conference
- Davidson took on the College of Charleston tonight and it wasn't really a game from the moment it tipped off
- Davidson coasted to a easy 10 point lead and now no colleges with the name Charleston are alive for the NCAA tournament
- Davidson was the biggest favorite by us at 77.7% while they were predicted to have a 67% chance of winning the Southern Conference, meaning this conference championship went as expected
Colonial Conference
- James Madison DOMINATED Northeastern from opening tip and although Northeastern cut the deficit to 8 late in the second half, James Madison ended the game with a big run
- Congratulations to Amanda for sticking with James Madison year after year after year after year, they finally brought you not just a win, but a bonus win
- Northeastern was predicted to have a 25% chance of winning, while 44.4% of us backed Delaware
Sun Belt Conference
- Big. Red. Amorphous. Blob. He is back!
- Erica is most likely giving Tim $500 to take to Vegas next week to lay on the WKU Moneyline, even though she still struggles to understand what Big Red even is!
- Congratulations to Ron for being the ONLY person to pick Western Kentucky, he will not go 0-31 and now needs to pay!
- This conference statistically had the biggest upset so far as 88.8% of us picked Middle Tennessee, while they had a 72.8% chance to win
MAAC
- Iona/Manhattan was a great game with Iona pulling away late to win
- Iona celebrated way too early and Manhattan received 2 technical foul shots, but with .1 second left it was too late for Manhattan
- Iona was favored to win this conference with a 28.8% chance, but our picks were pretty evenly divided between all the teams in the conference
West Coast Conference
- As expected, Gonzaga dominated St. Mary's and coasted to a very easy WCC conference championship
- Andrew is so pumped and will be in all his 'Zags gear next week!
- Gonzaga had a 68.7% chance to win this tournament and 83.3% of us backed them
- Put a fork in Teen wolf!
Standings Update
Jenn, Tim, and Christina are still leading the pack with a 45.5% accuracy rate. It is important to understand that bonus points are not factored in the accuracy rate, so they are truly picking almost 50% of the winners to this point!
Amanda, Rick, Joel, and John are RIGHT on their tails, so any let downs by this group of 7 will be costly over the next few days.
Good news is that EVERYONE is on the board with a win, and if Ron pulls off a few more upsets he will be in contention based upon the amount of point opportunities he has left.
