Mountain West and Ohio Valley Conference Championship Game Previews

We finally have our first 2 conference tournament championship games today with the Mountain West championship game at 4:30p CST and the Ohio Valley championship game at 7:00p CST. Below is a breakdown of each conference tournament championship game today along with some other key conference tournament games. Additionally, 4 more conference tournaments tip off today.

Mountain West Championship Game

• The first conference tournament championship game of the season is extremely chalky with (1) San Diego State playing (2) Utah State which is why we have 31 out of 33 of us still in this one.

• BI and Robb are the only 2 players out for this one with BI taking (5) Boise State (maybe he thought this was a football pool) and Robb taking (4) UNLV (totally got in his own head and also didn't check out injuries).

• We should talk more about Robb taking UNLV, he was so in his own head about his MMILV shirt not arriving, thinking about how to obtain more drink coupons and trying to figure out his seating at Westgate that he picked the wrong team.

• We only have 3 people on (2) Utah State so if (1) San Diego State wins, while it impacts 5 people that are not on SDSU, it really is not a critical conference in terms of our pool.

• Maybe I am behind, but I didn't know "Cowboy Ken" existed for Wyoming, but once I found out it was amazing to see him said at the end of the Utah State/Wyoming game.

Cowboy Ken 😂😂😂

Ohio Valley Championship Game

• In a complete shock we have (1) Belmont playing (2) Murray State in the championship game, oh wait, this matchup happens Every. Fucking. Year.

• 7 people are eliminated and only a little over half of us are on (1) Belmont, so this championship game has more of an impact than the Mountain West championship game.

As of today 14 conference tournaments are in progress so this is when I stop trying to detail out each one, I typically focus on championships and upsets.  The 4 new conferences that tip off today are the American East, Colonial, Summit League and Sun Belt. If I find some time this afternoon I'll break down each of these conferences, otherwise you can look at the spreadsheet yourself.

The link below has the current spreadsheet with all Friday games now updated and we had more conferences with seeding finalized, but nothing that impacted bonus points or standings. Good to see that Tim finally stopped editing the document over the past few days.

STANDINGS

At this point everyone has at least 1 loss, but we have 8 total people that only have 1 loss which is very impressive for the amount of upsets that we saw over the past few days. Heffron, Jack and Sam round out our top 3 with 1 loss and over 40 max points available to them. The bottom 3 are rounded out by Murder Mittens, Brian and Penguin, all 3 of them really racking up losses
