It is now less than six weeks until Selection Sunday!
Here is today's bracket. At the bottom, I took West Virginia, Maryland, BYU, and Cal over teams like Ohio, George Mason, Oregon, Illinois State, Wake Forest, Miami-FL, UMass and Mississippi State and a few other fringe teams.

Want to hear the most exciting news? Work on the One Stop Shop has begun! Just like the last three years, you will be able to access all 30 conference tourney brackets in one handy link on this site.
We are less than one month away from conference tournament time. Personally, I think conference tournies, Selection Sunday, and the first weekend of the NCAA Tourney make up the best sports time of the year.
Tonight's GOI
--UNC-Greensboro at GA Southern. Both are trying to break into the top 100 RPI and UNCG is in that death struggle in the SoCon North.
--Louisville at Marquette. 2/3 of the three-loss Big East teams currently tied for third. The loser probably gives up hope of catching Georgetown.
--Longwood at NJIT. A combined 2-43, and NJIT is 0-20. But, they have Longwood at home with a chance to toss their bagel.
--Villanova at Saint Joseph's. Oh, Big Five basketball. Why do you torture a Kentucky boy with your faraway goodness? Hawks have won 10 of 11 and Nova's struggles are well-documented.
--Marist at Siena. Both recently owned by MAAC-leading Rider, but both are still just one game back.
