BRACKETOLOGY: March 3, 2007 7:45 am (Welcome Penn)

Mid-Continent: Oral Roberts has already beaten Kansas, Montana and Seton Hall out of conference this year. They return much of the team that went to the tournament last year and got screwed with a 16-seed. Oakland, the second place team, did beat ORU in the final game of the regular season. However, that game was at Oakland and the conference tournament will be in ORU's hometown of Tulsa. Oral Roberts will repeat.

Big Sky: With a conference so cluttered, it's difficult to pick. No one in this tournament has a league record below .500. Something has got to give. Well, good thing Weber St swept Northern Arizona in the regular season because that won the Bobcats the tiebreaker and got them the home court for the semi-finals and finals. The Dee Events Center will be the X-factor and the reason Weber St wins this tournament.
