Some of the games tonight should be really good – Virginia Tech is at home trying to upset Duke, Texas has a huge bubble game at Kansas, and what should be a fantastic game between #12 Texas Tech and #20 West Virginia.<\/p>\n
But quietly without much fanfare, in the arenas of four small colleges, the Atlantic Sun’s Conference Tournament has begun tonight.\u00a0 It even has begun with some of the normal chaos – as #1 seed Florida Gulf Coast found themselves only up 3 at halftime against last place USC Upstate before running away in the second half, and #2 seed Lipscomb is currently only up 1 at halftime against 7 seed Stetson.<\/p>\n
It is only two weeks away – the Madness is coming.\u00a0 \u00a0Bubble teams try to get one more win so that they don’t need to depend on winning a couple games in their conference tourney (as I am typing this, the Hokies just got a tip-in with 4 seconds to pull off a 64-63 upset over Duke).\u00a0 Small conference regular season champions try to figure out how to win three more games so they get their deserved invitation to the Big Dance.<\/p>\n
Two weeks of huge drama will be happening on the court.\u00a0\u00a0Buzzer beaters and Cinderella runs all leading up to Selection Sunday.\u00a0 It is almost March!!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
