Championship Week 2019

**X-band '01** · 03-11-2019, 10:02 PM

Auto-Bid Winners through tonight:

Murray State (Ohio Valley)
Gardner-Webb (Big South) - first NCAA Tournament appearance
Bradley (Missouri Valley)
Liberty (Atlantic Sun)
Wofford (SoCon)
Iona (Metro Atlantic)

The big result tonight was Wofford winning; the SoCon is another conference that might sneak an at-large from either UNC-Greensboro or Furman, but their best chance would have been Furman making the title game instead. Belmont is the best under-the-radar team right now that could be at-large.

If Zion can't/won't play, I'll take Gonzaga and give the other 350 teams.

Thanks to Drew McDonald's game-winning 3 for NKU, we'll get Round 3 of Wright State-NKU for the Horizon League championship tomorrow night.

Went to the Wofford/UNCG final in Asheville last night.
Was an electric atmosphere and a great basketball game.
Fortunately for the bubble,Wofford won and won't steal a bid.
Their guard Fletcher Magee is 3 shots away from holding the all time NCAA record of 3's.
He'll get at least one more chance in the first round to reach it.
They have provided us with great basketball all year. Undefeated in conference/tourney play.

I suspect SMC won't be able to stay within 10 of Gonzaga, but is that a bid stealer? Or are the Gaels in? May as well have Gonzaga blow them out just to be safe.

Bid stolen thanks to Saint Mary's.

I guess being a #1 seed is overrated.
