March Madness is nearly here!!  Championship week in the NCAA has begun and already a few teams have punched their tickets to the dance. 

Atlantic Sun: Florida Gulf Coast (24-10)
Big South: Liberty (15-20) wtf?
Colonial: James Madison (20-14)
Horizon: Valparaiso (26-7)
Ivy: Harvard (19-9)
Metro Atlantic: Iona (20-13)
Missouri Valley: Creighton (27-7) no doubts here
Northeast: LIU Brooklyn (20-13)

Southern: Davidson (26-7)
Summit: South Dakota St. (25-9)
Sun Belt: Western Kentucky (20-15)
West Coast: Gonzaga (31-2) another no doubter

13 teams are in, and another 55 are yet to go, it should be exciting.
