If the Tourney Started Today

Which is doesn't. Does it?

Anyway, here's how things would shake out...

ORU v. Centenary
This looks like a near certain first round matchup as Centenary is 3-13, two games behind 7 seeded UMKC. Centenary DID beat IUPUI this season, but have lost 9 in a row since. Sorry Gentleman, but you look like you'll be blown out early.

IUPUI v. UMKC
These two played twice (obviously), with the Jags winning close at UMKC, and by 20 at home.

Oakland v. W. Illinois
Oakland seemed to handle the Leathernecks rather easily in both venues. But it's always tough to beat a team three times.

IPFW v. Southern Utah
These two play the last game of the regular season, then most likely again a few days later. IPFW won the first matchup at home. This Mastodon team is my sleeper in this tournament.

Likely second round matchups?
ORU v. IPFW
OU v. IUPUI

Final: ORU v. Oakland (again).

I agree, I think OU can get passed WIU for a third time. Getting past IUPUI would be tough especially if Cassise is benched again. OU has good young talent, but needs to get another year under their belt before I see them winning the conference tournament.
