F*CK UT-Martin (who has never been to the Tournament) lost to Morehead St. in the OVC semis.

UTM was one of 5 or 6 schools who have never been to the tournament with a real chance to get in.

[BlackFalkin]

im not a basketball fan so maybe someone can answer this:

• why doesnt the conf bid goto the conf champ at the end of reg. season like fb? why have a conf champ, THEN play a tournament and possibly have someone OTHER than the conf champ goto the tourney?
  
  whens the day when they announce the all the teams officially in the REAL tourney?

[dbackjon]

Selection sunday is tomorrow afternoon.

It is the conference's decision who to send - the regular season champ, or the tourney champ. All conferences except the IVY League send the tourney champ - they have the tourneys for money.
