Small Conference Automatic Qualifiers

Last night, many of the small conferences wrapped up regular season championships, qualifying several teams for the NCAA Championship Tournament.

West Coast Conference Championship: #1 Gonzaga rolls over St. Marry's 65-51, locking up a number 1 seed for the Bulldogs. Look for St. Marry's to make the big dance as a 13 or 14 seed.

Ohio Valley Conference: Butler tops Murray State in OT. I project them as a 12-13 seed. Murray St. could still dance, but they would be a 15-16 seed in my opinion.

Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference: Iona Gaels edge  Manhattan College 60-57. Projected seed: 15-16

Missouri Valley Conference: Wichita St. falls short of catching Creighton. Both should make the tournament, with Creighton as a 4-6 seed and Wichita St. as a 9-10 seed.

Southern Conference: Davidson easily handled Charleston College. I see them as a 12 seed.

More to come as championship week continues.
