The majority of us guessed right on three of four tonight, although all three were close games. Old Dominion (chosen by 51) eked by William & Mary (selected by 4) in the CAA final, Wofford (favored by 40) edged Appalachian State (taken by 8) in the Southern, and Siena (picked by 74) got by Fairfield (liked by nobody) in the MAAC. The only blowout was by the sole underdog to win: St. Mary's (selected by Canning, D Kedson, M Leach, Paston, Sakowski, and Yolles) kicked Gonzaga's keister in the WCC.
In the Summit conference, Oakland (selected by 60) faces off against IUPUI (taken by 12: Alberts, Booth, DaLauro, Coach Doc, Freidhof, Harlan, D Kedson, S Leach, Merril, Sakowski, Templeton, Tester). In the Sun Belt, it's North Texas (thought highly of by 30) versus Troy (fought for by 5: Claude, L Donadio, Karlsruher, E Leach, B Peloso).
Updated standings are, of course, available via the link on the right.

Went to the ODU-W&M final and it was a good game. W&M tried and pushed, but couldn't get the boulder all the way up the hill after getting down 13. It's a shame because the Tribe would've been a real pain for a big team in the tourney. ODU will win at least one game in the tournament.
Sounds fun, George. W&M has already beaten some big teams this year (Maryland, Wake Forest, perhaps others), which is why I personally picked them to win the CAA (I know you did as well). Alas, for both of our entries.
