It’s that time of the year again.\u00a0 The BSB Conference Tournament Challenge.\u00a0 Every year since I can remember, Doogan, J, and I have been picking every conference tournament bracket from the ACC to the Patriot League.\u00a0 Stri joined us about 6 or 7 years ago.\u00a0 Stri was shortly followed by Ina.\u00a0 Alexi joined us two years ago. \u00a0And, Waters and Lynch jumped in last year, as we had a record 8 competitors.\u00a0 No one has ever dropped out of this pre-Madness madness (because it’s awesome), so I’m assuming we’ll have at least 8 again this year.\u00a0 But, all are welcome.\u00a0 All it takes is filling out a ton of brackets when you get them in your email and sending them back to me before the games start.\u00a0 Then, follow along on BSB and see if your pick of Oral Roberts to win the Summit League takes you to eternal bragging rights (or at least for one year).<\/p>\n
The results from the night before, the updated Challenge standings,\u00a0and a “preview” of that day’s action will be posted each\u00a0day on BSB beginning March 2 (with the Big South, the Horizon League, and the Ohio Valley) and\u00a0running all the way through Selection Sunday.\u00a0 All you have to do is email me (or post a comment to this post) and you’ll get the first batch of brackets to fill out.\u00a0 There is no official entry fee, but feel free to make any side bets you’d like.\u00a0 It’s a good way to get into the best month of basketball you can possibly dream of.<\/p>\n
PS…If you haven’t been following the Sun Belt Conference, then you are missing out.\u00a0 Before last night’s full slate of 6 crazy games, there were 7 Sun Belt teams within one game of the top spot.\u00a0 Now, we have 6 more games on Saturday to decide the regular season title and the subsequent seedings heading into the tournament in Hot Springs, AR.\u00a0 Don’t worry, I couldn’t name one player in the Sun Belt, but I did get way too much excitement when I saw this morning that Western Kentucky prevailed, in OT, at Florida-Atlantic and that North Texas held off LA-Lafayette at home to keep pace with the leaders in the conference.\u00a0 It just gets me ready for The Challenge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
