Bracket Racket: 3/12

BRACKET RACKET 3/12

Welcome to the Dance!

Oral Roberts - This must be the year of the Mid-Major dynasties, as ORU wins third straight Summit/Badlands title and become just the latest team to repeat

Butler - Cleveland State put up fight, but Philly native Green and the Bulldogs were too much, winning the Horizon for the first time since 2001.

Western Kentucky - Now that is how to get yourself off the bubble! Lack of floor storming still slightly lame


Today’s Conference Finals


NEC
Sacred Heart vs Mount Saint Mary's ESPN2 7pm

Big Sky

Keep an Eye on….

- The start of major conference tournament play. The bubble will be different tomorrow morning than it is today

- Villanova-Syracuse - It doesn't get any better than a virtual play-in at the Garden today at noon. Practice your basketball watching skills at work one week early.

- Which tournament bound Big East team (Pitt, Marquette, WVU) falls in the opening round and hurts its seeding
