If you are following the Lunatic’s guide and enjoying some of the games, they are treating you to some fun.

In the Summit conference, regular season champion South Dakota State found themselves down a decent part of the game, but with 9 seconds left, tied the game from the free throw line. Oral Roberts then broke their hearts by driving to the lane, missing the jumper in the lane, and having Kevin Obanor of the Golden Eagles tap the ball in right before the clock struck 0 to send the regular season champs home.

Meanwhile, in the Horizon conference, Cleveland State also found themselves down most of the game, but while they were down 1 with a minute left, a tap out on a defensive rebound led to a fast break for Tre Gomillion who gave the Vikings a lead with a thunderous dunk and foul.

With 5 minutes left, UNC-Greensboro just scored the last 5 points to take a 4 point lead in the Southern Conference championship. Appalachian State is running away with an upset in the Sun Belt – they have a 14 point lead over East division champion Georgia State with 4 minutes to play.

Lots of excitement in the Monday conference tournaments. They might not be the big names like Michigan or Baylor or Virginia. And admittedly, some of the basketball isn’t the best. But it sure is exciting to watch.
