Southern Conference and Sun Belt Championships Monday

My pet peeve when it comes to these low major conferences, tipping off their conference tournament championship games at the same time when we only have 2 championships scheduled tonight. Can these conference commissioners not get together and stagger the tip times by at least an hour? Tonight, both the Southern Conference and Sun Belt will play at 6:00 PM CST and we have a lot on the line in our pool. Below is a full breakdown of both championship games. 🏀

Southern Conference

Jenn and B.I. will be backing 2-point betting favorite (5) Furman while Tim is on (6) Wofford. We will have our first bonus point(s) given out Monday, and this possibly clinches the Lowest Winning Seed bonus pool. If Wofford pulls out this win, Tim jumps into 1st place by himself, leapfrogging his brother. On the other end of the spectrum, Jenn and B.I. are both in last, a Furman win would help salvage their pool. This is a huge game tonight. 💰

Sun Belt

In another huge conference tournament championship game, Sohler backed (3) Troy plays Vegas favorite and popular pool pick (4) Arkansas State. Both conferences tonight will have bonus points awarded to the winner, which means we will see some significant separation in the standings. 36% of our pool is an Arkansas State, so I wouldn't call this unexpected or an upset, but for those without Arkansas State, a win by the Red Wolves will hurt. If Troy wins, Sohler jumps into 1st place, either tied with Tim or all by himself. Either way, we have a ton to watch tonight. 🌞

In addition to these championship games, we have 10 other matchups ranging from 3rd round action to semifinals battles. As a reminder, all games from here on out are conference tournament games. Out of the 31 conferences, 5 are complete (16%), 10 are in progress (32%) and 16 have not yet started (52%). If you are off to a poor start in the pool, rest assured knowing that more than half the conference tournaments have not even tipped off yet. The next update will come late-night tonight after the championship games and few other key conference tournament games are final. 🟢
