AMERICA EAST: Albany was by far the most dominant team in the league this season. The Great Danes didn’t lose their first conference game until Feb. 17. With all games being at campus sites its going to take a lot to keep Albany from repeating. MISSOURI VALLEY: This certainly was a top heavy league this year asContinue reading “More Conference Tournament Previews”

MISSOURI VALLEY: Who are we fooling here? There’s only one real choice and that’s Wichita St. The Shockers are the nation’s lone undefeated team and there’s nothing that says they’ll lose in St. Louis this week. Out of 18 conference games, only three were decided by single-digits. On a neutral floor, this is the Shockers’ tournamentContinue reading “More Conference Tournament Previews”
The Long Wait (Welcome Creighton, Liberty)
It’s going to be a long agonizing week for the Middle Tennessee St Blue Raiders after their upset loss at the hands of Florida International in the Sun Belt Conference semi-finals (more on this later). They were dominant in the regular season winning all but one conference games, but March is cruel as the BlueContinue reading “The Long Wait (Welcome Creighton, Liberty)”

METRO ATLANTIC ATHLETIC: Iona has been on my radar since I watch it go blow-for-blow with Purdue in November. This team can flatout score. This is one of the most dangerous mid-majors in the country as it has three pros on the roster. That being said, the Gaels don’t really care to much to playContinue reading “Conference Tournament Predictions Continued”
Dragon’s Lair
Will this be the year? Will this be the year a team other than one from Virginia wins the Colonial Athletic Association. If the Drexel Dragons have anything to say about it, it will. It’s been six years since UNC-Wilmington won the regular season title in the CAA. That’s six long years for the restContinue reading “Dragon’s Lair”

PATRIOT LEAGUE: Bucknell and American are way ahead of the pack in this league. Bucknell ran through Patriot League competition with only one loss and American only three. Too bad for the Eagles, two of those losses came from the Bison. Nothing really to say here, but to expect part three with Bucknell winning again.Continue reading “More Conference Tournament Previews”
The Other Commonwealth
While Kentucky gets pub for being a hotbed of college hoops; it’s neighbor to the east isn’t doing too shabby itself. The commonwealth of Virginia is having a great this season with mid-majors and Virginia Tech.

PATRIOT LEAGUE: Lehigh won the regular season crown but it does not give of the vibe that its a favorite. It only finished one game ahead Bucknell and two games ahead of Lafayette, both of whom have victories over Lehigh. I just worry about the Mountain Hawks ability to get through this tournament. Even theirContinue reading “More Conference Tournament Previews”
