I couldn't identify anyone in the Summit League, so I'll take a wild guess and pick Oral Roberts.

Go Holy Cross!!!
If they meet in a tournament game, how about we bring back the avatar bet? (BTW, good thing I went with New England's game against Buffalo as opposed to the Arizona one.)

I may attend UW-Milwaukee, but I give them no shot of winning the tournament- I picked Butler, and HD did convince me that Cleveland State will be a darkhorse.
The Horizon is loaded with teams that have had past success in the NCAA Tournament: UW-Milwaukee, UW-Green Bay, Loyola, Cleveland St., Wright St., and of course most famously, Butler and Valpo.
Absolutely. The Big East and ACC tournamets are gonna be sick!
Do you think even though those 2 tournaments should be great that maybe those 2 tourneys take away some of the luster of it because its just a formality.
In other words, whereas the Big South or Colonial Athletic have to fight and claw for basically one spot in the tourney, The Big East and ACC is pretty much locked up. Its pretty much a given whos going and whos not. Yes, there could be upsets but still some teams are a lock to get in.
I will say, again, that those 2 tourneys should be great!!!!
Cornell has the inside shot to the Ivy's auto bid, but Princeton still has a chance at it (and stranger things have happened with Penn and Princeton winning that league so regularly).
Who would have thought Harvard would tank after beating Backstabber College?

ACC - Ga Tech :up
All we need is a tornado to force the game out of the Dome and into the Tit. It worked for the Mutts last year.
for a better example, How 'bout them Dawgs in the SEC tourny last year.
It's no given who all's going to the NCAA Tournament from the ACC and Big East. For several of these teams their seasons will be on the line. Whatsmore the ACC Tournament is huge for all the teams in it. Outside of winning a NC or reaching the FF there is nothing bigger that a team can do than win the ACC Tournament.
