Atlantic Sun, Big South and Missouri Valley Conference Championship Game Previews

This afternoon we have 3 conference tournament championship games staggered/overlapping over a few hours in the Atlantic Sun, Big South and Missouri Valley conferences. By the end of the day today if we have any players in the 4-6 point range and you still have 0, it's time to be a little worried.

1. Big South championship game: 12p CT (Winthrop -12)
2. Missouri Valley championship game: 1p CT (Bradley -2.5)
3. Atlantic Sun championship game: 2p CT (Liberty -12)

The link below has the current spreadsheet that includes additional conferences that had finalized seeding posted this morning, you will see slight standings changes from last night. Many teams have been moving in/out of the bonus point range.  Chris Iannuzzi is in 1st place.  😂😂😂

STANDINGS

Big South Championship Game

• Only 14 players are competing in this conference tournament championship game that matches up (5) Hampton vs. (2) Winthrop

• The majority of the pool was eliminated when (1) Radford and(3) Gardner-Webb lost in the semi-finals.

• Congrats to BI for going with (5) Hampton, he definitely studied the Big South to pull that one out! For everyone that is out their is not a great rooting options as (5) Hampton gives BI bonus points that vaults him to the top of the standings and possibly wins the "Lowest Winning Seed" money while (2) Winthrop gives 13 players wins.

• (2) Winthrop is favored to win this game by 12 points so don't expect a close game.

• The Big South has a great bracket graphic so I had to include it below, I wish more conferences would do brackets like this.

Missouri Valley Championship Game

• Here is the weird championship game of the entire pool so far as we have (7) Valparaiso vs. (4) Bradley and only 3 players in our pool are alive, all with Bradley.

• 30 players will all be rooting very hard for (7) Valparaiso to win this afternoon as the ideal outcome so that no one gets any points from this conference. We're all rooting against you JoCo, Fuss and "The Olsen's"

• (4) Bradley is only favored by 2.5 points so we should expect to see a super close game and (7) Valparaiso has a legitimate chance to pull this off.

• #ArchMadness30 was awesome in the past as all the games were on TV, the graphics/media was great and the basketball was fun. Now, it's complete garbage. Example below, this is the graphic posted to hype up today's game.  No pictures of Valpo or Bradley, no cool bracket graphics, just a picture of America's shithole, St. Louis.

Atlantic Sun Championship Game

• This conference tournament championship game is a rematch of last year, except with the seeds reversed, with (3) Lipscomb playing (1) Liberty and we have 28 players alive.

• Only 5 players have been eliminated from this conference championship game, mostly due to (2) North Florida being upset earlier in the bracket.

• We only have 4 players on (3) Lipscomb which means a Lipscomb win would be huge for the standings since bonus points would be awarded. (1) Liberty is favored to win this game by 12 points so don't expect a close game.
