7 Conferences Have Now Tipped Off

We now have 7 total conference that have begun conference tournament play, and after only 2 days we have seen movement with our standings.

Before we go over the action from today and preview additional conferences for tomorrow, these e-mails will be less frequent, maybe every other day or longer in between e-mail updates.

However, at least once/day the blog and standing will be updated.

You can subscribe to the blog too, and you should get notified when an update is posted, but I don't know how well that works, so it's worth checking a few times/day if you're interested in the updates.

Also, clicking the link below will give you the full spreadsheet so you can see the movement in the standings as they are updated.

Current Standings

These our the current standings, and although no one has had an opportunity for any wins yet, you still want to be in the top half of this list to ensure you are in good position with the maximum possible points.

• In the America East we saw Hartford lose in overtime which resulted in a lose for both Safka and Doug
• Vermont, Albany, and Stony Brook were all favorites and won tonight
• The Northeast conference was a bloodbath for a lot of you tonight with Mount St. Mary's, Sacred Heart, and Wagner all losing
• The favorite, St. Francis (NY) won easily and moved on to the next round

It wouldn't be March Madness without a sad basketball player having his dreams crushed...

We still have 17 players without a loss after tonight.

Tomorrow brings 2 more conferences tipping off, in addition to the other 7 conference tournaments continuing.  Below is the summary in order of conference tip off time.

MAAC

• Iona has a 42% chance to win this conference and 68% of us went with Iona to win, however they are not in action tomorrow
• The 3 games tomorrow in the MAAC mean nothing for our pool, we all have the 1-4 seeds and they have byes

Missouri Valley Conference

• Similar to the MAAC, these games won't have any impact on our pool since the bottom 4 seeds are playing

Thursday actually brings a bunch of games that are really critical to our pool, below are a few to watch for.

• The last 4 Atlantic Sun teams are playing tomorrow - North Florida, FGCU, and SC Upstate
• FGCU/SC Upstate should actually be a really good game to watch, especially since it is so important to our pool, and the spread indicates it will be close

• All 8 Patriot League teams will be in action and in our pool we have seeds 1,2,3,4, and 6 covered, so someone will have a loss

Enjoy Thursday's Action!!
