Rutgers continues its run through the Big East Conference Championships to the quarterfinals. The team struggled to win games during the regular season, but has gritted out two wins to keep their dance hopes alive in the tournament.

[reptile]

so if i am #111 in RPI does that mean the only way i can make the big dance is winning the big east tourney?

[dowian2]

The RPI is a factor in who gets into the dance; it is not the sole criteria. Nothing is certain until the season is over and the committee looks at everyone's body of work.

[dowian2]

Today's updates:

#9 Minnesota beat #5 Northwestern in the semifinals of the Big 10 tournament.
#15 Rutgers beat #7 Cincinnati in the second round of the Big East tournament.
East Division #2 South Carolina upset West Division #1 Arkansas in the semifinals of the SEC tournament.

And, in what will turn out to be the strangest league of the season....
#7 Southern Utah beat #3 Oakland in the semifinals of the Summit-MAAC tournament. They advance to play #9 seed Siena in the championship game!

[dowian2]

Unusual statistic:

#9 seeds are currently 17-5 overall in all conference tournaments, as FIVE of them have reached conference championship games now (Minnesota, Baylor, VCU, Evansville, and Siena). They were the underdog in 21 of these 22 games.

I'll post a further update later on this evening

[lodyev]

VCU finishes its miracle run with a win in the Colonial tournament finals. See you guys in the dance.

[dowian2]

More upsets:
#9 Duquesne beat #8 Richmond in the first round of the Atlantic 10 tournament.
#7 Massachusetts beat #2 George Washington in the quarterfinals of the Atlantic 10 tournament.
#9 Baylor beat #5 Iowa St. in the semifinals of the Big 12 tournament.
#11 Pittsburgh beat #3 Seton Hall in the quarterfinals of the Big East tournament.

And...
#9 VCU completed its run to the Colonial championship, defeating #3 Old Dominion in the finals! VCU punches its ticket to the NCAA tournament!

Also,
Congrats to #3 Penn St., who defeated #9 Minnesota in the finals of the Big Ten tournament to clinch a berth in the dance as well!

DePaul is victorious over South Florida, and will advance to play #1 rated Villanova

[JCKing]

[dowian2]

No upsets today, but...

Congrats to #7 Southern Utah on winning the Summit-MAAC tournament and #3 Colorado on winning the Big 12 tournament! Two more berths in the dance are locked up!

[chiefsfan4ever]

Oregon gets beat in the Championship game in the Pac 10 Tourny. There goes my #1 seed unless the committee finds it in their heart to give it to the ducks.

[dowian2]

More upsets:
#9 Duquesne beat #1 Temple in the quarterfinals Atlantic 10 tournament.
West division #2 Mississippi defeated East division #1 Tennessee in the semifinals of the SEC tournament.

And...

Akron tops Mid-American Conference

[dustin800]

North Carolina wins its second straight ACC tourney title. Hopefully they will not get snubbed again with an 8 seed like last year!

[TheMissionary]

So only 1 team has an automatic bid to the tournament so far? Just wondering how the top 25 is going to pan out for the big games.

Sorry, guys, been studying quite a bit this weekend and haven't updated. There will be another update tonight.

Missionary, to answer your question, there have been 14 automatic berths clinched so far. The only conferences that still have active tournaments are the Atlantic 10, the Big East, and the WAC. 3 more automatic berths are up for grabs, and then 48 at-large bids will be decided on by the selection committee (myself, yellow, and flex).

[dowian2]

A few more to report:
#11 Xavier defeated #6 St. Louis in the first round of the Atlantic 10 tournament.

#3 North Carolina defeated #1 Georgia Tech to win the ACC championship!
#2 Akron knocked off #5 Western Michigan to win the MAC championship!
East Division #2 South Carolina beat West Division #2 Mississippi in the SEC championship!

Congratulations, everyone! Just three more conference tournaments to go. All tournament brackets and automatic berths have been updated on the first page.

[dowian2]

Congrats to #3 Utah St. on beating #4 Nevada in the WAC championship game!

Congrats to #1 Villanova on beating #2 Georgetown in the Big East championship game!


Just waiting on the Atlantic 10 now... you probably won't get any updates from me until something happens in that tournament.

[lardass76]

Despite early season injury and off the court problems....Defending champs UCLA ended 18-3 dominating the Pac-10. Hope the committe sees this in the seeding for the NCAAs. respect

[dowian2]

Note to all freemiums waiting on the NCAA tournament and/or NIT tournament:
These tournaments will not start until at least May 1, so you don't need to save a spot between now and then. There are still 3 games left to be played in the Atlantic 10 tournament, followed by the selection committee's process.
