- The first championship game of the day will be between (4) Gardner-Webb and (2) Radford.
- 12 people in the pool have Radford winning this conference and the lone person on Gardner-Webb is Wattles. Because Gardner-Webb is bonus points, a win here would put Wattles in 1st place by himself.
- Before the conference tournament started, Team Rankings predicted Radford to win the championship, this aligns with our overall pick
Missouri Valley Conference
- The second championship game today is by far the oddest match-up with (6) Northern Iowa vs. (5) Bradley, the top 4 seeds were all knocked out
- While none of us picked Bradley, we do have 2 people that actually picked Northern Iowa, so bonus points are at stake. Almost half of us thought that Loyola Chicago was going to win this conference and Team Rankings agreed, we all got tricked by Sister Jean
- If Northern Iowa wins this not only will Ryan and B.I. be in 1st place, they'll have a great shot at splitting the "Lowest Winning Seed" pot of money. It's going to be hard for another 6 seed or worse win.
Atlantic Sun Conference
- Depending how the previous 2 championships turn out, this should be the least impact conference as championship as most of the pool is still alive. No bonus points are available since it is top seeds (2) Liberty vs. (1) Lipscomb.
- 22 are on Lipscomb, they have been the favorite all year and Team Rankings along with Vegas thinks they should win easily.
- 6 are on Liberty, so while it is not bonus points, a Liberty win will really start to separate the Top and Bottom of the standings.
You can get to the Standings by clicking on Standings, everything is up to date through Sunday at 11:00 AM CST. 28 out of the 32 conference tournament seeds are finalized, all seeds will be finalized by tonight's update. We did have some seeding changes across most conferences, the biggest impact was in the SEC as Kentucky is no longer worth bonus points, but Tennessee is.
