Conference Tournament Results: March 7th & 8th

Here's another post that I'm a day late on. These are the results from the completed Conference Tournaments with regard to my predictions bracket. If I make a prediction...I need to let the public know about how I did, for better and for worse. That's called integrity. Or is it authenticity? Or disclosure? Or stupidity? Either way...these picks have definitely fallen into the "worse" category so far. I definitely messed up with the Creighton pick...I should have never gone away from picking a team from Iowa. As Phil said, "If picking a bracket buster from Iowa is wrong, I don't want to be right." When you're right Phil, you're right.
