Rhode Island is a lock to get into the NCAA Tournament as an at-large team if the Rams do not win the conference tournament. St. Bonaventure is most likely in as well, but the Bonnies could sure use a quarterfinal win to make it secure. Davidson is a potential bid stealer. The Wildcats are the hottest team in the league and sport the league’s top defense. Davidson knocked off Rhode Island in the regular season finale.
A player to watch in this tournament is Justin Wilson of VCU. Wilson has the talent and ability to carry his team to the semifinals, where the right matchup could produce a dark horse for the league title.

Kansas is aiming to secure a number one seed in the Big Dance, but the Jayhawks have been a bit inconsistent this year. West Virginia swooned in the middle of the season, but the Mountaineers began to put it all together late in the season. Kansas State, TCU, and Texas Tech had their moments during the season, but none of the three looked like a champion as March came marching in. Oklahoma has taken on water to the point where a first-round loss to rival Oklahoma St. could sink the Sooners. Texas and Baylor might need one tournament win to earn tournament lock status, while Iowa St. is really the only team that must win the automatic bid to get into the field of 68. This should be one of the most exciting Big 12 Tournaments ever.

Except for Georgetown and DePaul, any of the other eight teams in this league could win the conference tournament. Villanova finished behind Xavier in the standings, but the Wildcats own the Musketeers. St. John’s finished in a last place tie, but the Red Hawks beat Duke, Villanova, and Marquette in consecutive games. So, it would not be all that shocking if SJU found the magic in MSG and make a run.

This should be an interesting tournament just for the logistics. If you have ever attended a giant AAU tournament, you most likely have seen multiple courts set up with a curtain dividing the action. This tournament is going to face something similar. The event will take place where the Dallas Cowboys practice. There’s nothing new about staging the Final Four in a domed stadium meant for football. However, there will be two courts facing parallel to each other with a thick black curtain separating the games. There will be no worries about the basketball rolling from one court to the other interrupting a game, because the courts will be set in opposite end zones. However, there is no guarantee that the sounds from one court might be heard on the other court, especially referee whistles and scoreboard horns.
The tournament itself should be quite interesting. Middle Tennessee romped over the rest of the league with the exception of Marshall. Marshall’s style of play is totally different than all the other teams in the league and all but a few teams nationally. The Thundering Herd are one of the most exciting teams to watch in all levels of basketball.
Even though they are highly ranked, Middle Tennessee is far from a lock to make the NCAA Tournament if they do not win the automatic bid. The Blue Raiders are 49th in the RPI, 48th in predictive metrics, 3-3 in Quadrant 1 games, and 2-1 in Quadrant 2 games. They are certainly on the Bubble.
Western Kentucky and Old Dominion are fairly evenly matched with enough talent to win the tournament and represent the league well in an opening round NCAA Tournament game. UAB is the only dark horse with the horses to pull off a couple of upset wins, but anything other than the top four seeds advancing to the semifinals would be shocking.

If your favorite power conference team is in need of a new coach, then your school’s administration should keep a watch on this conference. This is a league that features a lot of excellent coaches that could move on to big time schools and win big, much like the MAC in football.
At the top of this list are Nevada’s Eric Musselman, Boise State’s Leon Rice, Wyoming’s Allen Edwards, Fresno State’s Rodney Terry, and New Mexico’s Paul Weir.
Nevada has an NCAA bid locked up, but unless another team wins the MWC Tournament, this will be a one-bid league. Boise State was on the Bubble at one time, but the Broncos’ resume, which includes a road win at Oregon and home win over Loyola (Chi.) still might be a bit too thin.
San Diego State is like the snake in the grass that the mice cannot see. The Aztecs can usually play great defense, but their offense is a bit too inconsistent. This year, that is not the case, as their offense is rather strong, but their defense has not been up to recent standards. However, SDSU enters this tournament riding a six-game winning streak with evidence that their defense is starting to come around. Of all the dark horses in all the conferences, we believe the Aztecs are the most dangerous.

Will the on-court action be as exciting as the off-court action in this league? Arizona had to withstand a lot of negative press and speculation about Coach Sean Miller and star player DeAndre Ayton.
Then, there is the case of the hottest team in November and early December becoming an also-ran in conference play, yet remaining on the Bubble. In other years prior to the current set-up where last 10 or 12 games meant a lot, this metric is not considered by the Selection Committee. Thus, Arizona State, 8-10 in the Pac-12 and tied for eighth, is still very much in consideration for an at-large bid, while Utah and Stanford, both 11-7 in the league are not seriously being considered. Stanford swept ASU, clearly showing the world that they are a superior team, while Utah split with the Sun Devils. It just goes to show that this current system, while being easy to understand, is seriously flawed.
Imagine if the San Diego Padres won series over the Cubs, Nationals, and Astros early in the season and led the NL West through the end of May and then swooned to a 83-79 finish, while the Dodgers go 92-70 but end up with losing records to the Cubs and Nats and lose their interleague series with Cleveland. Would it be right for the Padres to go to the playoffs based on those April and May wins, while the Dodgers stay home, even if the Dodgers owned the Padres in head-to-head games? This would be a joke! But, in college basketball, it is hailed as the new genius way to determine who belongs in the Dance.
It is our opinion that conference standings mean something, in fact a lot more than most of the other factors used to pick at-large teams. The third place team in a league is obviously better than the eighth place team in the same league.

Co-champion Auburn is a wounder Tiger. Without their one legitimate star inside presence, Anfernee McLemore, we do not see the Tigers making it to the Championship Game, and they could fall short of the Semifinals.
Co-champion Tennessee really only goes seven deep, which is okay in the NCAA Tournament, but having to win three games in three days will be tough.
Florida and Kentucky can always be counted to put it all together starting the second week of March. The Gators and Wildcats have enough vulnerabilities this year that either team winning the tournament would be a mild surprise.
It is the next six teams in this league that should make this an exciting tournament. Alabama is like the 33rd car in Indy Qualifying, always worried that another car might run an exceptional qualifying run and bump them from the field. The Crimson Tide absolutely must win Thursday over Texas A&M to have any chance to make the field. A win over Auburn on Friday would do the trick.
Who do we like in this tournament? It all hinges on one player who has been in action for all of two minutes all season. Will Michael Porter, Jr. return to action for Missouri? If so, will he be able to play considerable minutes? If so, then Missouri becomes our favorite to run the table and win the Arch Madness encore. The Tigers are already strong enough to compete for the championship, so if Porter can come close to looking like he did when Missouri played Kansas in that pre-season charity game, the Tigers might capitalize on the return and cut down the nets in their home state.
Texas A&M is a team to watch. The Aggies will have to fight off a feisty Alabama team playing for its tournament life. An A&M win on Thursday would set up a quarterfinal game with an Auburn team that A&M handled in Auburn.

How many times have you watched a classic horse race where an all-time favorite horse like American Pharoah or Secretariat is in third place entering the top of the stretch? The champion may be down 4 or 5 lengths, and the horses leading him may have decent past performances that show they close well. Still, all eyes are on the all-time great, because you just know the heroic equine is going to run a 11.4 final furlong and pass the two horses in front.
The Southland Conference has its Secretariat or Citation. Stephen F. Austin enters the tournament as the number three seed, but the fans of top-seed Southeast Louisiana and second-seed Nicholls State will tell you that they fear the Lumberjacks. SFA played the two co-champs in back-to-back games more than two months ago. Since then, the Lumberjacks have improved by about 7-10 points. SFA is the real favorite to win the tournament for the fourth time in five years.

Louisiana Lafayette (We know they now call themselves just Louisiana, but until it is the household name we will still add “Lafayette”) is the overwhelming favorite to win the tournament and be a formidable first-round opponent, but it is not a foregone conclusion that the Ragin’ Cajuns will slaughter three opponents and earn the one bid that will go to the league.
ULL has an incredible offense and can light up the scoreboard, but occasional defensive lapses have led to giving up too many points. Georgia State hung 106 points on them two weeks ago. Panthers’ coach Ron Hunter knows how to prepare his teams for tournament play, and Georgia State should be considered a co-favorite.
Texas-Arlington is a team to watch in this tourney. The Mavericks usually win the hustle stats, and those extra opportunities mean even more in March.
