(Other winners so far: Fairfield, Marshall, Creighton, Northern Colorado, Missouri State…plus Pacific @ Loyola Marymount and Southern Miss @ La Tech)

Thursday Games:
WNIT
Mississippi @ Samford 8pm
(This is Samford’s first ever post-season appearance…I will go out on a limb and say, first of many)
WBI
#1 Appalachian State @ #8 Charleston Southern 7pm
(BTW…did anyone think about making CSU a 7-seed and then they could have played 2-seed CofC? Would have saved a lot of travel…then ASU could have played at MSU which also would have saved on travel)
