The OVC, Big South and Horizon leagues get underway tonight. So far only one upset in the making.

17-12 Austin Peay is down by 6 with 5 minutes left against 12-17 Eastern Illinois at Austin Peay.

And Austin Peay escapes with a 3 point win. AP got fouled on a rebound scrum with 13 seconds left and made 2 FT's but Eastern couldn't make a last ditch 3 point attempt. Some good early march madness.

Got a couple upsets so far tonight in the Patriot league 1st round.

10-19 Colgate over 19-11 Navy in overtime.

11-18 Army over 15-14 Lehigh by 3 points.
 
Another couple upsets for tonight, which one of them most of us already know about.

-Coming out of the MVC...

11-20 Indiana State over 17-15 Drake

-Out of the Northeast

15-16 Quinnipiac over 16-14 Long Island in overtime
 
I have a hunch the Atlantic Sun might lose their top seed today. #1 seed Jacksonville plays ON THE ROAD at #4 seed Lipscomb (who recently beat the Dolphins on Feb 26th, 92-82).

How is that possible? How do they "reward" a #1 seed by having them play on the road, or is that their "neutral" site for the whole tournament?

Upset in RPI only, but 24-9 VCU over 22-10 George Mason. GM had the slightly better RPI, but VCU had the better overall record, first place finish and 2-1 record over the RPI top 50 with two wins over GM. Due to George Mason's loss to Creighton in the Bracketbuster and two losses to VCU, there is no chance of them making the NCAA tournament, so Creighton is still okay for now.

However, that Siena/Niagara game is tight in the 2nd half and HAS to go the way of Siena! Gonzaga is pouring it on St. Mary's at the moment, but SM may or may not get in anyway. But the way Gonzaga is beating them, that could be the deciding factor.
 
VCU is going to be a tough 1st round team to beat. Reminds me a lot of BU's Sweet 16 team. Drive and dish out for the 3 time and time again. Really get that offense spread out, tough to play D against them.

Huge upset today as previously winless DePaul takes out Cincinnati 67-57! Although they still look safe for the NIT, this loss may just send Cincy right down to the CBI again!
