The Butler did it

Bubble teams everywhere rejoice! The Horizon League finals are finished, and the Butlerian contrarians have been put in their place, as 63 of us predicted they would. Be. In the Summit, Oral Roberts (chosen by 51 of us) prevailed, although, sadly, Morehead State was rejected some time ago. The Sun Belt battle of the directional schools was won by Western Kentucky, picked by 20 of us, who mastered Middle Tennessee.

In the Big Sky semifinals, the five of us who liked Northern Arizona (ME Donadio, N Donadio, S Leach, M Peloso, Rybaltowski) bested the six of us who fancied Weber State (Cooper, J Donadio, M Leach, McAtee-Gattone, Packman, Sakowski). The late game features Portland State (picked by 55) against Idaho State (picked by zero), but we're not staying up to report the results.

Three entrants are tied for first with 53 points: Fitzmyer, McAtee-Gattone, and Perry Leach, who must have some evil science fiction thing going on, because Samantha Leach and Madison Leach are in last and second-to-last place, respectively, by a fairly wide margin.

Tomorrow, the Big Sky and NEC finals. Ee-yah.
