Western Kentucky 74, North Texas 70
Western Kentucky wins the Sun Belt Championship; Advance to NCAA Tournament
-With a losing record, the Hilltoppers are still going to dance. Their date may not be pretty, but dammit they're going to Prom nonetheless. Teeng Akol is a man, and you remember that Tony Mitchell. North Texas still can't get to the tourney, plagued by misfortune after last year's upset by Arkansas-Little Rock. Besides, you had to think that the Hilltoppers would get some positive karma after this mess:
Seton Hall 79, Providence 47
Pirates advance to the Big East 2nd Round

Weber State 69, Portland State 63
Wildcats advance to the Big Sky Championship
-Weber State looked to have overlooked the Vikings, but then they kicked it into gear late. Coming back from what looked to be the dead in Missoula, the Wildcats advance to play the winner of Eastern Washington and Montana later tonight.
Princeton 62, Pennsylvania 52

South Dakota State 52, Western Illinois 50 (OT)

Detroit 68, Valparaiso 50
Detroit wins the Horizon League Championship; Advance to NCAA Tournament
-The upset of the night leaves the Crusaders on the outside looking in to get into the Big Dance. The Titans pulled away late led by Ray McCallum's 19 point effort. This is the Titans first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1997.
Montana 74, Eastern Washington 64
advances to the Big Sky Tournament Championship
-Kareem Jamar overcame his early struggles to keep Montana in the game long enough for Will Cherry to defy physics and physiology to bury the Eagles late. The Grizzlies went on a 13-2 run in the final 1:45 to overcome Cliff Colimon's 27 point effort. Montana once again finds themselves in the Big Sky Tournament Championship, and will play Weber State in a clash of the titans. These two teams have split the season series in a couple blow outs.
