It’s not abundantly clear who would represent the ASUN in the Big Dance in a similar situation with the shared regular season crown. But, it’s not called “March Normalness” and anything can happen. This seems highly unlikely to happen again considering where Bellarmine and Queens are this year odds-wise. Odds from FanDuel and were accurate at time publicationĪ quick aside: If you recall, last year’s title was won by an ineligible Bellarmine squad, giving the auto-bid to the regular season champion, Jacksonville State. As mentioned, they did lose to the Owls on the road just nine days ago. The loss to Kennesaw should give you pause before laying the chalk though. Liberty is a big favorite and deservedly so, boasting a top-50 defensive efficiency ranking (the league average of the other 14 teams is 234th, with none in the top 100). Note: the bracket is reseeded after the quarterfinals so the highest remaining seed will host the lowest remaining. For reference, Jacksonville State was a 15-seed last year, taking on Auburn in the first round. Depending on the champ, this is more than likely a 14 or 15 seed. The ASUN is a one-bid league with no team being even close to an at-large bid, this is a do-or-die tournament. How Many teams will the Atlantic Sun send to the tournament Despite their current transitional status, Bellarmine and Queens will play in the tournament while being ineligible for postseason play. Only the top 10 teams will participate, meaning five teams’ seasons have ended. Based on their head-to-head win over Liberty earlier in the season, the tournament granted Kennesaw State the #1 seed. Kennesaw State and Liberty finished with identical 15-3 conference records and will share the regular season title. #7 North Florida, 7:00 p.m., ESPN+Īll Quarterfinal games will be Tuesday night, again on ESPN+ with a short break before the semis resume on Thursday the 2nd and another few days for the finalists before the Championship game, Sunday the 5th at 3PM ET on ESPN2.
