When we were giving tips on how to pick conference champions, we forgot to mention one little point. The team playing on its home court often has an advantage. Granted, we should have said something about it, but to be entirely honest we thought it was obvious. Alas, no, as exactly nobody picked San Diego, who just won the WCC championship in -- you guessed it -- San Diego.
On the flip side, a whole bunch of us (45, to be exact) picked South Alabama to win the Sun Belt championship on their home court, but they lost in the league semifinals, to Middle Tennessee State, picked only by Selarnick. MTSU will play Western Kentucky (chosen by 20) in the Sun Belt final.
In the Southern Conference, overwhelming favorite Davidson (selected by 64) overwhelmed Elon. In the Colonial and the MAAC, George Mason (picked by 8 -- see previous post for their names) and Siena (picked by 28) came through.
We're down to two co-leaders. Last season's pool champion, M Peloso, and rookie McAtee-Gattone currently share the lead with 40 points. Tomorrow we have championships for the Summit, Sun Belt, and Horizon, and semifinals for the Big Sky. See ya.
