Conference Tournament Season Tips off Tomorrow with the Atlantic Sun & Patriot League

First, the spreadsheet has been updated with a few new entries, along with the changes sent in by a few people.  Remember, you will want to bookmark this link so you can see up to date standings throughout the next few weeks.

Rabitoy officially has implemented the best strategy, picking 3 seeds across the board, giving him a Max Possible Point total of 62!

Beginning tomorrow night, all 8 Atlantic Sun teams will be in action as that conference does not give any teams a bye.

This means we will all have teams at risk tomorrow night, however we can all escape without a loss.

Below is a summary of the match-ups in the Atlantic Sun and what to watch for based on the picks in our pool.  Although the games are not on TV, you can watch them on ESPN 3 through your phone, computer, or Xbox.

• All the games start between 6:00 pm and 6:30 pm CST because the higher seed hosts the game.
• The majority of us (57%) went with the 1 seed, North Florida, so a loss to S.C. Upstate will put a smaller number of people in a great position, especially those with the 3 and 4 seed.
• We don't have confidence in N.J.I.T as a 2 seed, less than 10% selected them as the champion.
• More people picked the Jacksonville Dolphins as picked N.J.I.T, while some people still believe in Dunk City (FGCU) from a few years ago.

Although it's a little bit less interesting than the Atlantic Sun due to only the 4 lowest seeds playing, the Patriot League will also be in action tomorrow night.

Below is a summary of the match-ups in the Patriot League and what to watch for based on the picks in our pool.  Unlike the Atlantic Sun, you will not find these games televised anywhere, unless you live on the Holy Cross campus.

• Out of the 4 teams playing (7-10 seeds), only one of us has a team at risk, and that team is Navy.
• It's safe to assume that 22 of us will be rooting for Lafayette to take down Navy. 
• Similar to the Atlantic Sun, the majority of us (52%) in the Patriot League are also going with the 1 seed, Bucknell.
• Seeds 1-6 get a bye in the Patriot League, so you gain an advantage here with a higher seed.

Future posts may not be this detailed, especially as more conferences tip off, but at least in the beginning I'll incorporate as many details as possible.

Super excited for tip off tomorrow night!
