We are nearing the time where teams in Division One basketball become conference champions.
I thought it would be fun this year if we could keep track of the conference champions of all 32 conferences.
So if you watch a championship game and know who won please report like so...
Team and Conference
EXAMPLE... Awesome School, MAAC
OR
Awesome School MAAC
OR
Awesome School - MAAC
Have fun! Please have some banter about the winners and if they can do damage in the big dance! Enjoy!

My favorite time of year. One season I kept a running list of the dates that each team was eliminated and why. Back in the day not all teams advanced to a conference tournament. Some teams were even eliminated before the season started due to violations-- that's half the swac this year.

Just saying.

Isn't that the case every year? A lot of years the two lowest rated conferences were the MEAC and the SWAC and the NCAA didn't want to put the two historically black conferences in the play in game together every year. Now that there are four 16 seeds that play in it is a lot more likely they will have to play in every year. The most baffling decision is that the SWAC is allowing the ineligible teams to participate in the SWAC Tournament. If one of them wins the auto bid would go to the team they beat in the finals unless the finals come down to two ineligible teams in which case it will go to the higher seed that lost in the semis. Usually only the Ivy could have an automatic bid coming into the NCAA off a loss.

The MEAC and the SWAC ought to be D-II conferences, but nobody wants to be the jerk toward the HBCUs.

Anyway, I believe there are Conference Championships starting today.
Correct me if I am wrong folks, but...

Tonight, Ohio Valley champion will be crowned. 7:00 pm on ESPN2, Belmont versus Eastern Kentucky. Belmont should be familiar to folks as they gave Duke a scare a few years ago. Here is a list of other conference tournament action today, but honestly most of you will be at the one game that matters!

Coastal Carolina's first trip since 1993 but their coach has taken 4 different teams. If they get by the play in game and then stay close to Myrtle Beach... Florida Gulf COast is wishing the power stayed out right about now.

Western Carolina upsets Davidson, who had only lost one conference game all year. Interestingly, the Southern conference has 11 teams but plays only 16 conference games. Apparently they don't worry about scheduling OOC games. Then again, they probably fill them up with guarantee games, which would not do the MAAC any favors.
