Big West

First Round: UC Irvine over UC Davis, UC Riverside over Fullerton

Second Round: Pacific over Riverside, Santa Barbera over UC Irvine

Semifinals: Long Beach over Pacific, Northridge over Santa Barbera

Champion: Cal State Northridge

Random Thoughts: Pacific, Northridge, and Long Beach are all pretty evenly matched as far as I can tell, so I’m really just pissing in the wind on this one.

SWAC

First Round: Alabama State over Alabama A&M, Arkansas Pine Bluff over Southern, Prairie View over MVSU, Jackson State over Texas Southern

Semifinals: Alabama State over Pine Bluff, Jackson State over Prairie View

Champion: Alabama State

Random Thoughts: I literally have nothing to say about this conference.

Mountain West

First Round: Colorado State over Air Force

Second Round: BYU over CSU, SDSU over UNLV, New Mexico over Wyoming, Utah over TCU

Semifinals: SDSU over BYU, New Mexico over Utah

Champion: New Mexico

Random Thoughts: I know this thing is in Vegas, but I can’t see UNLV winning it all as Bo predicted. There’s just too many other teams that are better than them. If he’s right though, more power to him. Anyway BYU is not nearly as good away from home, and I like New Mexico a little better than Utah so that’s what I’m going with (plus anything that makes Kenny Thomas happy, makes me happy).

Pac 10

First Round: Stanford over Oregon State, Washington State over Oregon

Second Round: Washington over Stanford, Arizona State over Arizona, Cal over USC, Washington State over UCLA

Semifinals: Washington over Arizona State, Cal over Washington State

Champion: Cal

Random Thoughts: I actually compltely agree with Bo on Cal. In fact, they’re the only team I like at all in this conference, at least in terms of making noise in the big dance. I’m going with UCLA to lose early because of a big game by that douchy looking little guy from WSU. I forget his name, but it’s something long and dumb, and I don’t feel like looking it up. Also, can someone please explain to me this James Harden thing? Why is he a top 5 pick again? I mean I’m sure he’d be a decent enough NBA rotation player, but he’s a stubby guy who can’t shoot all that well. He’s not going to be Paul Pierce.
