First of all, congrats to the 4 teams in the semi-finals. Especially have to hand it to USM for winning at UTEP. Good job by a class outfit.

Attendance will not be great but many tickets have already been sold so there is at least that. If you watch any of the other college tournaments going on right now the attendance absolutely sucks whenever the home school is not involved. SEC, Big 12, AAC, doesn't matter. We are no different.

My picks:

MT over Tulsa
USM over LTU

USM in a tight one over MT for the championship.

However it comes out, best of luck to all the teams jostling for the post season.

FWIW SEC Tournament is not at a host school, it's in Atlanta. Same goes for the Big 12, they play in KC.

I'm gonna say MT over Tulsa (just to make sure Tulsa goes out without ANY solo bball championshiup)
USM over La Tech

USM gets revenge for the MT loss earlier... (although no matter who wins between MT/Tulsa , it's still a revenge match).

True but Athens is just over an hour from Atlanta and Lawrence is less than an hour from KC. Not exactly home court but certainly close for those fanbases.

MT over Tulsa for revenge
USM over LT in a close one

MT over USM again.

Tulsa over MT
La Tech over USM

Tulsa over La Tech
