Holy Upsets!

Here are the current standings through all of today's games, including Morehead State/Murray State, along with some of the highlights.

Many conferences were in action today, but only 3 conferences had impacts to our pool, Atlantic Sun, Ohio Valley, and Patriot League.  This entire night was full of insane upsets and now we all have at least 1 loss.

Don't get discouraged if you experienced a ton of losses today or are towards the bottom of the standings.  We have a long way to go, and remember, you win this pool with 15-16 winners, you don't need to win all 31 conferences.

• The night started out in the Atlantic Sun with 4 seed FGCU demolishing the 1 seed North Florida, so now the championship game will be between 8 seed Stetson and 4 seed FGCU
• We then moved to the Patriot League, where it was really a bloodbath, the 1 seed Bucknell went down to 8 seed Holy Cross, while 6 seed American took out Boston University
• Finally, we wrap up with the Ohio Valley conference where we saw a popular pool pick, Tennessee State, go down to Austin Peay.

As we head into Friday, we don't yet have any conference champions, 11 conference tournaments are in progress, and 20 have still not tipped off.  The first conference champion will be crowned on Saturday in the Ohio Valley Conference.

We have a whole bunch of important games being played Friday as many of these smaller conferences head into the quarterfinals, or even the semi-finals.  Below outlines what impacts our pool and we'll see many more sad basketball teams tomorrow.

The Big South, MAAC, Missouri Valley, and Ohio Valley conferences all continue, while the 3 conferences that tip off tomorrow are the Colonial, Southern, and the West Coast.  The West Coast is one of my favorites since it is played in Vegas!

The Colonial features the 7-10 seeds, which only impacts 1 of us as Jack has Elon.  Not sure why he has Elon, but he does, maybe it was a mistake.  The Southern also has the 7-10 seeds playing, the only difference  is none of us have any of those teams.

Finally, the West Coast conference tips off Friday, but it's only one game between Loyola Marymount and San Diego.  I'll end up watching it just for the shots of Vegas.
