And the bids have started.

19-13 and #3 seed UNC-Asheville knocks off top seed 28-5 (16-2) Coastal Carolina by 13 points today to get the 1st auto bid. This is UNC-Asheville's 2nd trip to the big dance. 1 bubble possibly just burst with CC losing.

And #1 seed 29-4 (19-1) Belmont takes the A-Sun Auto bid by 30 some odd points over #6 seed N. Florida.

Coastal has the NCAA peeking at some of their records while losing players left and right to suspension AND injury. That'll be an 8 seed in the NIT.

Belmont is headed for the 13 line and is going to scare the crap out of all prospective 4 seeds in the next week.

Looks like #2 seed 23-9 (13-5) Morehead State is going to take the Ohio Valley over #4 seed Tenn. Tech by roughly 15 points.

It also appears that 22-5 Harvard is going to take the Ivy League regular season auto bid.

The MVC championship is the only auto bid for tomorrow.

If Princeton beats Penn I'm pretty sure the Ivy goes to a winner take all deathmatch late next week.

This is exactly right according to the Ivy League website. Harvard has never in its history won the Ivy League.

Ahh roger that, yah looks like they split the season matchups. Harvard just beat them today by 12 points. Princeton beat them last month by 4 points.

Reigning from the MVC Auto Bid is #3 seed 19-13 (12-6) Indiana State by 4 points over #1 seed MO State.

I'm putting the odds of Indiana St being a 14 seed vs. a 15 seed 50/50. It's going to take a lot of luck to get up to the 13 line.

So the 1-bid MVC is headed quite possibly to the 15 line. And geography pretty much dictates a matchup like Notre Dame/Indiana St in round 1.

Ye Gods.

Much as I love the valley, I'd have to root for my Irish! I still give ND a decent chance for a no. 1 or 2 seed.

Out of the MAAC, #4 seed 20-13 (11-7) St. Peters by 4 points over #2 seed 22-11 (13-5) Iona.

[jasonpeoria911]

#2 seed 26-6 (14-4) Old Dominion takes the CAA by 5 points over #4 seed 23-10 (12-6) VCU.

[jasonpeoria911]

#2 seed 21-12 (14-4) Wofford takes the Southern by 10 points over #1 seed 24-10 (14-4) College of Charleston.

Wofford a stellar 22 for 24 on Free Throws.

#2 seed 23-9 (11-3) Gonzaga takes the WCC by about 10 points over #1 seed 24-7 (11-3) St. Marys.

[jasonpeoria911]

Taking the Sun Belt on a thriller game winning 3 pointer is #5 seed 19-16 (7-9) Arkansas-LR by 1 point over #4 seed 22-11 (8-8 ) N. Texas.

On a side note, a big shocker out of the Big East play in rounds, #15 seed, 10-22 (3-15) S. Florida by a point over #10 seed 21-11 (9-9) Villanova.
