BillsBeliever!!! Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 It's the best time of the year starting in 3 days! Conference tourneys start with the Atlantic Sun playing it's first games on the 27th of February. This is a conversation about all of the conference tourneys butter own, because the Atlantic 10 is more important and deserves its own My Predictions: A-Sun - Lipscomb ( 2 Seed ) American East - Vermont ( 1 Seed ) Big South - UNC Asheville ( 2 seed) Patriot - Boston University ( 2 Seed ) Northeastern Conference - LIU Brooklyn ( 2 Seed ) Ohio Valley - Belmont ( 1 Seed ) Missouri Valley - Wichita State ( 2 Seed ) Colonial Athletic - UNC Wilmington ( 1 Seed ) West Coast Conference - Gonzaga ( 1 Seed ) Summit - Denver - ( 5 Seed ) upset team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLIKNS Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Was at the FGCU -Stetson game last night , 4700 in attendance..FGCU won the A-Sun Regular Season title last night, hard fought game ( Stetson is FGCU's biggest rival) They play again Monday night to start thw A-Sun tourney, this one worries me, could see Stetson winning, but the A-Sun has higher seed gets the home game, so somebody will have to beat the Eagles in Dunk City yo get the A-Sun berth Alico Arena was ready to explode last night. This is part of March Madness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I would love to see dunk city get another chance to super, Lipscomb has been the team I thought would win it all year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, I believe they could win the A-10 Tourney this year. No doubt. We just need to score more points than the other teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLIKNS Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I know I am a homer here, but I think St. Mary's gets Gonzaga in the West Coast final. IF that happens could mess with seeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I think St. Mary's is really good. Like Sweet 16 good. I am just worried they are going to get a worse seed than they should like a 7 and end up having to play a Louisville in the second round. The committee will use their schedule as the reason for the bad seeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusicCityBilliken Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Glad to see the SoCon is back at the Asheville Civic Center. Lots of entertaining basketball. The Civic Center is an old downtown arena that is not large which lends itself to great and loud atmosphere. Kind of like the old-old Kiel. Also the plus of having it in Asheville is its super neat Downtown, many fantastic restaurants and craft beer establishments. I have a soft spot for ETSU.
