March Madness baby!

It will start feeling for real, when we get day basketball. But, yes, the madness begins Tuesday night with the A-Sun and Patriot League!

I'd like to see Florida Gulf Coast return to the tournament, that team was fun

Action gets going this evening. Tournament basketball is here!

Very entertaining first half between SC Upstate and UNF. UNF up 7. Game on ESPN3.

Upset alert: #2 seed NJIT down 13 at the half.

Stetson is looking to fuck this whole conference up

March really is crazy. Stetson gets swept by NJIT during the regular season and now they lead them by 23 on the road. Can't really predict this shit.

Lipscomb/Jacksonville head to OT. Jacksonville made the game winner but a charge was called.

 

[ericd7633]

#2 seed NJIT and #3 seed Jacksonville both go down. Wasn't much separation between 2-6 though.

Stetson is the team to watch

Playing for pride at this point...unable to go to NCAA Tournament because of APR sanctions.

FGCU up 14 on UNF at the half. Even with a loss UNF isn't eliminated from possibly making the tournament(Stetson would need to win it, and they'd go)

Stetson apparently missed the APR by just one point. Thanks NCAA.

However, a 21 loss team in the NCAA tournament would be

So if Stetson wins the regular season conference champion goes? That is interesting

That's correct, would be the first auto bid in history to go to the NCAA tournament without winning the conference tournament.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Screw Stetson, Let's go Florida Gulf Coast!!!
