Since this is the last day that conference tournaments begin, it's a good time to see how correct my projections have been to this point.
Tournaments completed by Wednesday 3/12

Actual champ: Portland State

WEST COAST

*Tournament was played on San Diego's home court, despite them being the 3 seed. Congrats to the Toreros, but you can't convince that they would have beaten Gonzaga and Saint Mary's back to back anywhere else.
OVERALL
Champions: 11-2
All games: 82-20
So yeah, either the tournaments are very predictable or I'm starting to know way too much about college basketball. We'll see what happens through the big conference tournaments this weekend.
