Gonzaga (26-3) got in from the WCC last night.

Interesting case for Jacksonville State. Bellarmine won the ASun tournament but they are still in transition to DI and are not eligible for March Madness. Bellarmine beat Jacksonville, but it is Jacksonville State that is going.

A bunch of people are pushing the NCAA to change that horrible rule, but no word from the NCAA yet....

They won't change it. Bellarmine knew the rule when they moved to DI.

I would think that, if Bellarmine can't go, it should be the other team that made it to the championship. In that case, Jacksonville would go and not Jacksonville State.

Pretty sure the conference spelled out the conditions for the autobid before the season started or at least before their conference tournament. Everyone went in knowing you had to win the conference tournament or the regular season first place team would get the bid. Can't really complain about it after the fact.

I just feel bad for Jacksonville. I don't have a horse in the race, but it just seems to me that if the team that beats you in the championship game can't go to the Big Dance, then you should be able to go instead of the team that you beat in the semis to get to the championship game. The semifinal game should carry some merit, I would think.

Also SDSU with their win over NDSU from the Summit.

That might actually be a winnable game. Should the Kitties win, they'll get the winner of #6 Alabama against the play-in winner....

#13 SD State vs. #4 Providence.
