With Selection sunday less than 2 weeks away the conference tournaments will be played for all conferences and the winners of these conferences will get a chance to play in March with an automatic bid. Here are my predictions to who is going to make the tournament and win their conference.
ASUN: Lipscomb
AEC: Vermont
AAC: FAU (South Florida will most likely be picked by the committee)
A10: Loyola (Richmond and Dayton with possible bid from committee)
ACC: Duke (NC will get bid from committee)
Big 12: Houston (Iowa State, Baylor, Kansas , and BYU will get bid from committee)
Big East: UConn (Marquette and Creighton bid form committee)
Big Sky: Colorado Bears
Big South: Gardner Webb
Big 10: Purdue but they will choke in tournament per usual…
Big West: UC San Diego
CAA: Drexel
CUSA: Louisiana Tech
Horizon League: Wright State
Ivy League: Princeton
MAAC: Quinnipiac

OVC: Morehead State
PAC-12: Utah Utes (Arizona and Washington state get bid)
Patriot League: Colgate
SEC: Auburn (Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Kentucky will get bid from committee)

WCC: Gonzaga (St. Mary’s bid)
WAC: Seattle
These predictions are based on performance from the season, conference value and record, my predictions for the championship and how each team would match up against their opponents. How certain defenses will go against offenses, and how much effort teams that will automatically get a bid really care about the national championship. There is only one way to see how my predictions end up.
