What an ending in Asheville

[Almost Allright]

Buzzer beater in Asheville. A town not made for Railbird. But that’s a conversation for another day.

Chattanooga down two with a three at the zeros in OT to go to the dance. Heartbreak for the Purple Paladins from Greenville SC

This game a classic example why the small conference tourneys are da nuts

 

[John Kelly]

More than 340 Division I programs have a chance to automatically qualify for the Big Dance this season through conference tournaments, regardless of regular-season achievements.

This season, I count 14 schools among the 358 D-I programs that were not eligible for the NCAA tourney.

There's Oklahoma State (probation), nine schools still going through their transition process from D-II to D-1 and the four Ivy league schools that finished fifth through eighth during the 14-game conference schedule.
