Conference Tournament Results: March 10th

What an absolute disaster of a day with regard to predicting Conference Tournament Champions. I went into the day with the possibility of going 3-for-4, and ended up going a measly 1-of-4. San Diego's upset victory over Gonzaga in the WCC final not only tarnished my predictions record, it messed up the chances of a lot of bubble teams out there as the WCC will now get three teams into the Big Dance with Gonzaga, San Diego, and Saint Mary's. I was doing so well with predicting Conference Champions. Today...I came back to earth. My instincts failed me. My research failed me. My obsession failed me. It's madness! But that's what happens in March.
