I'm going to predict NAU is at Montana and EWU is at UNC.

Weber to win the tournament in an upset.
(based on nothing at all but hunch)

Even after they just got hammered by the #6 seed at home?
I mean, it could happen, but Weber winning the thing seems significantly less likely that it did just a few hours ago.

I didn't think there was any way Weber wouldn't end up in the Semis, but it suddenly seems plausible now. The Griz will have a tough Semifinal game regardless. NAU is perhaps the best team when on, but has been ridiculously inconsistent away from Flagstaff. Weber is still dangerous despite tonight (Bamforth had a horrible game—5 points, 7 turnovers—hopefully that'll continue). MSU totally lives & dies by the trey, so they can beat anyone if they shoot well from outside.

I'm biased, but I'm picking UNC.
Based on the fact that the Bears are 12-0 at home this season, and 30-2 in their last 32 home games.

The way the Griz have played on the road the latter part of the season, no way in hell I'd put money on them to beat UNC.

I fear NAU the most. For some reason we just don't match up well with them.

I think this game has been a metaphor for Montana State's entire season (& most every MSU season, for that matter).
The Bobcats blew a 16-point lead in about 5 minutes and now trail by 2 with 45 seconds left.

EWU up 45-33 at half. Lots of fouls in this one, Eagles draining treys left and right. Colimon has 22 pts.

I kinda had a feeling Lillard-less Weber was playing on borrowed time during that big winning streak. They could still come back like NAU did, of course, but I think we're seeing they aren't really as good as that streak made them look.

F*ck comebacks. Weber has rallied in the second half, up by 1 for their first lead since 3 minutes in. EWU bucket, now Eagles up by 1.

3:44 left, Weber up by 2. Been going back and forth for the last 5 or 6 minutes.

Huge 3 by Weber to go up by 7 with under 3 left.

Ball game. Eagles have a great first half, then piss it away in the second. Epitome of the season.
