MVC Champion and Sunday Update

A 4th team joined the dance this afternoon, from the Missouri Valley Conference, Creighton! 

Today gave us some amazing mid major games that included some chalk wins and major upsets across 5 different conferences.
  • In the CAA we saw George Mason and Old Dominion lose and most of us are alive for the VCU/Drexel championship game tomorrow
  • The biggest upset of the day came when Fairmont defeated Iona, 14 out of 17 of us had Iona as the MAAC champion;  Fairfield or Loyola (MD) will be the MAAC champion tomorrow, this is what makes these tournamanets great!
    • On a side note, Tina (who changed her name to Christina to be higher in the standings when ties are sorted by name) has started a movement to rename the MAAC
  • The other gigantic upset today was a garbage Arkansas State team taking down MTSU in the Sunbelt;  By tomorrow morning we have the potential to have all lost our Sunbelt champion
  • In the Northeast Conference, Wagner was knocked off while LIU barley hung on to the win;  Wednesday should be a great championship game between LIU and Robert Morris
  • We had a few other players lose a team here and there, but the only other big news is Stony Brook and Vermont will square off in the American East championship later in the week
    • Hartford took Vermont into a double OT game, I really hope some of you got to watch some of that, it was just awesome!
Google Docs does a poor job of allowing you to see frozen columns and conditional formating in the standings spreadsheet, so I will send a copy out a few times over the next week now that we have movement.  It still does a servicable job so I will continue to inlcude the link.
