In past years, day 1 of conference tournaments have proven to be extremely boring as nobody is reaching for these lower seeded teams. However, today brought us something we have not seen in 13 years of this pool in the Atlantic Sun. In the very first conference tournament game (7) North Florida lost to (8) Bellarmine giving Olsen, Wattles & Thor, again 1 entry, the fastest loss in the history of our pool. 🤯
After only a few hours of our pool being live we already have a major change in the standings, which are updated here. 📉
In the only other game of the night, also in the Atlantic Sun, (9) Queens defeated (10) FGCU, guaranteeing no magical dunk city run this March. No impact to our pool. However, I found out that Queens is NOT in New York but in Charlotte. Literally had no idea, learned something new tonight. I decided to do some digging and found this, it feel like something that would be in Canada or the UK, not the U.S. Founded in 1857, Queens University of Charlotte is a small, private, co-ed, masters-level university focused on tailoring dynamic experiences for students in and outside of the classroom. Craft an experience fit for a Royal when you come explore the Queen City.
Tomorrow, 2/28 we will have 3 more conference tournaments tipping off, along with the Atlantic Sun moving into the quarterfinals. The new conferences starting tomorrow are the Horizon League, Patriot League, and the Sun Belt. Games do not start until 6:00 PM CST, I'll have a blog posted before the afternoon tomorrow. We're hoping Thor has better luck tomorrow!
