As the Northern Iowa game reminded you…IT’S MARCH! It was a crazy start to conference championship week, as Wichita State was knocked out in the semis of Arch Madness, and now will be biting their nails for the next week. UNI secured a bid after knocking off Evansville…on a buzzer beater. March Madness indeed.
So far, four other tickets have been punched: Austin Peay (Ohio Valley), Yale (Ivy), UNC-Asheville (Big South), and Florida Gulf Coast (Atlantic Sun). Yep, Dunk City.
