Among several others, Big South seems really hard to call.

Totally unrelated: Hey, I should already know this, but this thread has a little smily-sunglasses emoticon next to it? What does that mean? (I hope it means "This topic is awesome!") ...
:pwink:
It's the first time I've seen it w/ a thread a started, just curious.

High Point has the best player in the conference in John Brown (actually watched a little of the conference tourney last year). That's why I picked them.

Blogging the Bracket has some updated pairings for some of the early tournaments, if anyone wants to adjust their picks before deadline.

Conference Tournament Central

Unless I'm looking in wrong places, still haven't seen any championship week stuff on either CBS or ESPN yet. I imagine it'll be there Tuesday, unless they aren't doing any (which would surprise me).

I was incorrect, a couple of tournaments begin today -- but still can submit or edit thru this evening. I doubt many of us are picking those first-day low seeds to win leagues. I'll post mine at some point later today when I get time.

I stand corrected, Atlantic Sun's opening night does involve a high seed (1 North Florida), since I cannot post my full field until after those games begin, going on-record with NJIT for that league. (Patriot League games tonight are 8/9-7/10 variety)
