Conference tournaments start today. The Atlantic Sun quarters. The first halting steps to the Final Four. Two possible deserving teams in the ASun, Lipscomb (24-6w,in over TCU) and Liberty (26-6, whipped UCLA in Pauley) fighting for one automatic. Neither will get an at large berth if they don't win the tournament. Yet 15-14 Indiana has a shot at an at-large bid. Yeah bigger wins but 14 losses? I'd truly love to see the NCAA make a .500 conference record a must for a Tournament bid unless you win the conference tourney. Makes the regular season more interesting, makes the conference tournaments more interesting and opens up berths for smaller schools. Yeah TV wants the Indiana's and Oklahoma's of the world but one of the great things about the tournament is the upsets. What's more memorable, Indiana beating Temple or Lipscomb beating Purdue (two hypothetical first round games)?

Syracuse up by 2 at halftime, the Orange are outplaying the Cavs, but Virginiaβs 3 point shooting has kept them in the game. Virginiaβs problem is that they do not have any inside scoring and a big team like Syracuse can dominate them in the paint and off the glass, itβs why I donβt think Virginia will go that far in the tourney.

Virginia explodes from beyond the arc, hitting something like 18 3 pointers, and they absolutely annihilated Syracuse in the 2nd half. When Virginia is playing like this they are scary, this is the best offense theyβve had in the last few years but their lack of inside scoring is concerning.
