WELCOME SELECTION COMMITTEE MEMBERS!! CLICK HERE TO VIEW OUR SURVIVAL BOARD
We take a look at what was a thrilling night in both the NEC and Ohio Valley. Both OVC games went into overtime, and three of the four NEC games came down to the final possession. We also take a quick look at some of the night’s action including Northwestern’s huge win over Michigan and Dayton’s win over VCU which clinches a first place finish. We also preview all of tomorrow night’s conference tournament action in the Atlantic Sun, Metro Atlantic, Ohio Valley, Big South, Patriot League, and Missouri Valley Tournaments, and we also dig into our mailbag.
