Championship Week Video Notebook: Day 9

WELCOME SELECTION COMMITTEE MEMBERS!!  We are here to tell you what to do so you don’t screw it up!!  Click here to view our Survival Board!!

Four more conference champions have been crowned, including Northern Kentucky who won the Horizon League in their first year of being eligible to earn a bid to the NCAAS.  Gonzaga blasted Saint Mary’s for the third time this season to win the West Coast Championship, Mount Saint Mary’s won the NEC, and South Dakota State repeated as champions after winning a thriller against Omaha.  There was also action today in the MEAC, SWAC, Big Sky, and ACC.  We review all of those, and preview a very busy day tomorrow as many of the power conferences get underway.  And as always, we begin with our mailbag and end with an update of our Survival Board.
