Congratulations to Texas Southern, who will take the autobid for the SWAC regardless of whether they win or lose tonight's SWAC title game. Their opponent, Southern, is ineligible for the NCAA tournament due to APR issues, so the Tigers get to go regardless of how the game ends. Texas Southern is the top seed in the tournament, though, so hopefully they can swing the victory anyway.
25 total games today, including 14 championship games. Those get started early, with Stony Brook traveling to Albany for the American East title at 10 am Central time.
