3/14 preview

Big 12 finals:  Kansas vs. Iowa St, in what might just be for a 2 seed.  By the way, this 2 seed is now in line to get stuck with Kentucky, so stay tuned.  You may not want to win this one
Mountain West finals:  Wyoming in a pure bid-steal situation against SDSU
Big East finals:  Xavier has done wonders for their profile, this would be worth many seed lines.  Nova must get this to maintain a 1 seed
ACC finals:  North Carolina and Notre Dame.  I think the 3 line is the peak for both here
Pac-12 finals:  Oregon/Arizona

Big 10 semifinals:  Purdue/Wisconsin, as Purdue goes for the lockbox and Wisky goes for the 1 line.  Michigan St/Maryland for positioning
SEC semifinals:  Auburn/Kentucky, Georgia/Arkansas, blah
A-10 semifinals:  VCU/Davidson, Rhode Island/Dayton
AAC semifinals:  Temple/SMU, UConn/Tulsa, let's see what the two bubble teams do
Sun Belt semifinals:  top 4 seeds have made it to this point

Championship games elsewhere:
A-East:  Stony Brook/Albany (Albany in a NIT bid poaching situation)
MEAC:  Hampton/Delaware St
CUSA:  Middle Tennessee/UAB
Ivy:  Harvard/Yale
SWAC:  Southern/Texas Southern - well, other than the pride of the actual championship, this is meaningless
MAC:  Buffalo/Central Michigan (CMU has the NIT autobid; Buffalo is a NIT at-large lock, so no NIT bid is getting poached here either way)
Big Sky:  Eastern Washington/Montana (Montana in a NIT bid poaching situation)
Southland:  Sam Houston St/Stephen F Austin (I don't think SFA is dead from a at-large standpoint yet)
WAC:  Seattle/New Mexico St (NMSU in a NIT bid poaching situation)
Big West:  Hawaii/UC Irvine
