The first invitation to this year's NCAA tournament was clinched tonight by the Penn Quakers, who clinched the regular-season Ivy League championship. The Quakers whipped Yale, 86-58. The Ivy is the only conference that does not have a post-season tournament.
Four more bids go out on Saturday.
In the Big South, juggernaut Winthrop hosts high-scoring but 14-18 VMI in the finals of the conference tournament.
Austin Peay takes on Eastern Kentucky in Nashville for the championship of the Ohio Valley conference tournament. The cheer "Let's Go Peay" will be heard early and often at the Gaylord.
In the Atlantic Sun, East Tennessee State hosts Belmont in the finals of the conference tournament.
And, in the Southern Conference, regular season champion Davidson takes on the College of Charleston at the North Charleston Coliseum. The Cougars, coached by ex-Georgia Tech coach Bobby Cremins, upset favored Appalachian State tonight in an overtime thriller.
Half the fun of March Madness is getting to the Tournament.
