Murray State is the First Ticket Punched for the NCAA Tournament

It is officially March as we now have our 1st ticket punched for the NCAA Tournament from the Murray State Racers in the Ohio Valley Conference.  Tons of conference tournament basketball was played today, we have finally started to see some separation and substance in the standings.  Link to the Standings

The largest upset of the day today in conference play came from the Horizon League as 1 seed Northern Kentucky lost to the 9 seed Cleveland State.  We shouldn't be surprised, the Horizon League is always fucked up with 1 seeds getting knocked off right out of the gate.

We have a bunch of championship games tomorrow, I will preview the games before tip off in the afternoon.  Additionally, most conferences have now wrapped up regular season play, so my spreadsheet updates tomorrow will have much more finalized standings.

So we finally had a ticket punched for the NCAA Tournament today, the graphic below is a summary of which conferences have already had teams punch a ticket!
