I do have to admit – I am really impressed with the regular season champions.  While it makes sense that the team that wins the most games in the regular season would be the favorite to win the conference tournament.  But they typically still have to win three games.  So, that is why I am impressed with Tuesday’s results.

West Coast Conference – Champion Gonzaga is dominating St. Mary’s

NEC – Co-champ Robert Morris beat co-champ St. Francis PA (after the ineligible Merrimack)

Colonial – Champion Hofstra beat Northeastern

Summit – Co-Champion North Dakota St beat North Dakota

Horizon – 2nd seed Northern Kentucky beat UIC (who upset champ Wright State)

Vermont also advanced to the America East final, and Prairie View A&M advanced to the SWAC semi-finals

So, 7 teams that won a share of their conference regular season tonight, and 6 of them won.  And the only team who lost did it to the team they shared the conference regular season title with.
