I fucked up. I didn’t get a chance to get my picks up yesterday. The only way to rectify this without either throwing out the four tournaments that started Saturday or giving Bo an insurmountable advantage was for me to blindly pick all of the favorites in those conferences. This, of course, is all the way through, and not just yesterday’s games, because it would’ve been a major advantage for me going forward to know the 1st Round results. I am embarrassed, but let’s be honest, I would’ve just been making random guesses based on nothing anyway. For record keeping purposes, here are what my picks look like.

America East

1st Round: Stony Brook over Albany, BU over Hartford, Maine over UNH, Vermont over UMBC

Semifinals: Stony Brook over BU, Vermont over Maine

Finals: Stony Brook over Vermont

Thoughts: I actually would’ve picked Stony Brook in this conference. Like Bo, I used to like that Coppenrath/Sorrentine team, but then the idiot coach started working for ESPN and made me hate him, so fuck Vermont.

Summit

1st Round: Oakland over UMKC, SDSU over IPFW, Oral Roberts over NDSU, IUPUI over Western Illinois

Semifinals: Oakland over SDSU, IUPUI over Oral Roberts

Finals: Oakland over IUPUI

Thoughts: Let’s do this for Rawle Marshall.

Sun Belt

1st Round: FAU over South Alabama, WKU over New Orleans, Arkansas State over Arkansas- LR, Denver over FIU, La.-Lafayette over La.-Monroe

2nd Round: Troy over FAU, WKU over Arkansas State, Middle Tennessee over Denver, North Texas over Lafayette

Semifinals: Troy over WKU, North Texas over Middle Tennessee

Finals: Troy over North Texas

Thoughts: I must admit I would never have picked Troy for 5 reasons: 1) I hate Troy Aikman, 2) I hate Osi Umenyiora, 3) Troy was a shitty movie, 4) I hate Demarcus Ware, 5) Troy Bell sucks

Big Sky

1st Round: Montana State over Portland State, Montana over Northern Arizona

Semifinals: Northern Colorado over Montana State, Weber State over Montana

Finals: Weber State over Northern Colorado

Thoughts: I was looking at Bo’s Picks and wondering why the fuck Middle Tennessee State would be in this conference. Well, turns out they’re not. It’s Montana State. Stupid Bo.

Ok, now that I got that out of the way, I can actually pick some games.

MAC

1st Round: WMU over BGSU, EMU over NIU, Ball State over Ohio, Buffalo over Toledo

2nd Round: CMU over WMU, Akron over EMU, Kent State over Ball State, Buffalo over Miami (Ohio)

Semifinals: Akron over CMU, Buffalo over Kent State

Finals: Akron over Buffalo

Thoughts: I think Akron pays their players, so I’m going with the pros.
