Starting a new College thread dedicated to all tournament plays that will include the Conference Tourney, NCAA tourney, NIT, and CBI. After 10 weeks capping 213 College games, finished with a 109-97-7 record. College tournament capping should be better now that we got all stats and all info we will need. It's officially March Madness and I'm ready to let the good times roll.

St Mary's Patty Mills not at 100% is still a great boost for a team that has been great without him.Comment -
Tuesday Big East conference Tourney
Early Play
Depaul +8 vs Cincinnati
Cincy has already given up on the season, knowing that they had already blew any realistic chance at a NCAA Berth. Like all games, it boils down to motivation. Depaul has shown that they still have some fight in them, with a decent loss at Georgetown and Villanova at home. Gotta like them on a neutral court, going against another slumping team.Comment -
Summit Conference Finals
Oakland +4.5 at North Dakota State
This will be the third conference Finals Oakland will be in, during the past 4 years. They've also won the Summit conference Finals in 2005 and earning a NCAA tournament bid. Gotta like the team that has been there and done that.Comment -
Sun Belt Conference Championship
Western Kentucky -5 vs South Alabama
Western Kentucky is an elite team experience wise, compared to the other two that South Alabama has beaten. Western Kentucky is a well groomed team lead by Senior Point Guard AJ Slaughter that knows how to win big games. They made it to the NCAA Sweet 16 last year, and will not be phase by the pressure to secure consecutive NCAA Tournament bids.Comment -
Conference USA 1st round
Rice +6 at Tulane
Both are comparable talent wise is why Rice can match up with them punch for punch. In a neutral court Tulane won't have the benefit of the home crowd to feed off of, like in their recent beat down of Rice 76-62.Comment -
Weird I have Rice playing Marshall.Comment -

Adding PAC-10 Championship
Arizona state -2 vs USC
This is a guarantee spot in the NCAA for USC if they win, but Arizona State want this win just as bad. They want to be the PAC-10 tournament Champs, something they have never done.Comment -
Adding three Final plays
Norfolk State +10 at Morgan State
Don't see Norfolk a winner of five straight getting blown out, in the game that will determine who represent the Mid Eastern Athletic conference in the NCAA tournament.
Akron -2 vs Buffalo
Might not matter much, but this game is being played in Ohio. Akron's home state. I think Akron experience and tough D will get them this win and the rights to the NCAA tourney.
Syracuse at Louisville Under 135
Syracuse last two over games should of went under. Both games required overtime to hit the over. Louisville is the toughest Defense Syracuse will be seeing in this tournament. Louisville has already shut down two prolific offense in their previous wins and should have an easier task against a tired leg Syracuse team.Comment -

Very eventful conference tournament, that almost ended very horribly. Start 8-1 from to Sunday to Wednesday, before ending the week with a frustrating blindsided unexpected 5-9 losing finish from Friday to Saturday. With two days to cool down and reanalyze what went wrong, I'm expecting another strong start in the upcoming NIT and NCAA tournament.Comment -
