Who's in? Who's out? Who is gonna blow it? (2023-24 CBB thread-Part 3)

[PhilSimms11]

Longwood (21-13, 6-10) flukes their way in. At least it's over .500.

 

[PhilSimms11]

Drake (28-6) wins the MVC.
Does Indiana St (28-6) get an at-large?

 

[PhilSimms11]

Atlantic Sun
Stetson (22-12) is going dancing.

 

[Jordan23]

If it ended today the 1 seeds would be Houston, UConn, Purdue and Unc. Love March but now we got conference tournaments!

 

[PhilSimms11]

Big Sky
Eastern Washington (21-11, 15-3), the 1-seed, just lost to Sacramento St (10-23, 4-14), the 10-seed 74-69.

The NIT welcomes Eastern Washington.

 

[PhilSimms11]

Sun Belt
App St (27-6, 16-2) is packing their bags for the NIT.

Hopefully, James Madison (29-3, 15-3) can take care of business.

 

[PhilSimms11]

Sun Belt Championship
James Madison (30-3) vs
Arkansas St (18-15)

Has a 30-win team ever failed to make it to the NCAA Tournament?

...Guess that is a no. Oh well, I hope you enjoy Gonzaga/Saint Mary's again!

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Everyone loves them some Indiana State. But that loss just about does it. They have a total of zero Q1 wins.

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Well done, James Madison (31-3). Heading to the Big Dance.

They had to win their tourney. A win over a subpar Michigan State team in the beginning of November wasn't gonna cut it.

 

[Destroydacre]

Oh well, I hope you enjoy Gonzaga/Saint Mary's again!

I sure as hell didn't, both teams played like shit.

 

[PhilSimms11]

Big Dance...
Charleston (27-7)
Oakland (23-11)
So Dakota St (22-12)
St Mary's (26-7)
Wagner (16-15)
