Monday and Tuesday are fun days for the Lunatic – that is because it is mainly many of the one bid conferences getting a chance to play their conference tournament finals before the media moves towards the major conference tournaments.
Today, the 7 pm TV spot highlights the two conference finals tonight. In the Sun Belt, 3rd seed Georgia State is playing 8th seed Louisiana for a chance to make the Big Dance. In the Southern, regular season champ Chattanooga is battling against 2nd seed Furman – both the top teams from the Southern are in the top 80 of the NET Rankings, so possibly might be one of those dangerous 12-14 seeds.
But we also have the semi-finals of the Colonial, Horizon, Summit and West Coast conferences. The big game of course is at 9 pm when #1 Gonzaga goes against San Francisco, as the Dons try to show that they deserve an at-large bid against the top team in the AP poll.
All the games today and tomorrow matter – because with maybe the exception of the West Coast Conference, these game are basically win or go home. Also, with less games going on, it gives the Lunatic a little bit of a chance to catch up on analyses before the season ends this weekend.
Enjoy the games – they should be fun ones!!!
