3.8.15 Championship "Week" Update

Good news: WE GOT A PLAYOFF IN THE IVY!  Harvard beat Brown, and this happened in the Dartmouth-Yale game:

So we'll reconvene at The Palestra in Philadelphia on Saturday to determine who gets the Ivy's automatic bid.

Bad news: Illinois State is jerks, and thus they beat Wichita State yesterday.  That takes the third WSU-Northern Iowa game off the board for today.

Neutral news, but fun to watch: This happened to end Murray State's 25 game winning streak:

Absolutely brutal for the Racers, who will almost assuredly not make the NCAA tournament after going 16-0 in the Ohio Valley.

Anyway, it's a stacked deck of games today, including autobids being handed out in the Atlantic Sun, Big South, and Missouri Valley.  Enjoy, and remember, all times are Central.
