Horizon League

1st Round: Wright State over Valpo, Milwaukee over Loyola, Cleveland State over Detroit, UIC over Youngstown State

2nd Round: Wright State over Milwaukee, Cleveland State over UIC

Semifinals: Butler over Wright State, UWGB over Cleveland State

Champion: Wisconsin-Green Bay

Random Thoughts: Kind of strange that the top 2 seeds get double byes. Not sure if that will be an advantage or disadvantage. I’m mainly playing favorites in this conference, because it seems like the bottom teams pretty much suck. I like Green Bay though. They’re underrated and they’ll obviously need the game much more than Butler.

Big South

First Round: Radford over High Point, Winthrop over UNCA, Liberty over Gardner Webb, VMI over Coastal Carolina

Semifinals: Radford over Winthrop, VMI over Liberty

Finals: VMI over Radford

Random Thoughts: The only team I know much about in this conference is VMI and I love their style of play, so they’re the pick. Screw Seth Curry, Bo.

Ohio Valley

First Round: UTM over Tenn Tech, EKU over Morehead State, Tenn. State over Murray State, Austin Peay over EIU

Semifinals: EKU over UTM, Austin Peay over Tenn. State

Champion: Eastern Kentucky

Random Thoughts: Who gives a fuck?

Atlantic Sun

First Round: Lipscomb over Campbell, Belmont over Mercer, ETSU over Stetson

Semifinals: Jacksonville over Lipscomb, ETSU over Belmont

Champion: East Tennesee State

Random Thoughts: ETSU is still near and dear to my heart from the Tim Smith days (and by near and dear to my heart, I mean when I’m randomly picking Atlantic Sun tournament games, I pick them to win.)

Patriot League

First Round: American over Lafayette, Lehigh over Army, Colgate over Navy, Holy Cross over Bucknell

Semifinals: American over Lehigh, Holy Cross over Colgate

Champion American

Random Thoughts: I have nothing to say about this conference, so I’ll just point out that Bucknell (7-22) played Delaware (13-18) 2 weeks ago in Bracket Busters. Look out, Bracket!!

Sun Belt

First Round: LA-Lafayette over FIU, MTSU over ASU, North Texas over FAU, South Alabama over New Orleans, Denver over LA- Monroe

Second Round: WKU over LA-Lafayette, North Texas over MTSU, Troy over South Alabama, Arkansas-LR over Denver

Semifinals: NorthTexas over WKU, Troy over Arkansas-LR

Champion: Troy

Random Thoughts: I hate Troy. They randomly produced 2 of the best pass rushers in the NFL and they both play for my 2 least favorite teams in all of sports. I have to admit though, they’re going to win this tournament. Hate to say it but facts are facts.
