More teams have punched their tickets to the NCAA men's basketball tournament after winning conference tournament titles on Wednesday.
Montana came from 22 points down to beat Weber State 66-65 to win the Big Sky Tournament. Anthony Johnson scores 42 to help Montana get back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in four years.
Robert Morris is also dancing today, beating Quinnipiac 52-50 to win the Northeast Conference Tournament title. The Colonials will make the tournament for the second straight year.
In other conference tournament news, South Florida, a bubble team, probably saw its NCAA chances end with a loss to Georgetown in the Big East Tournament. Seton Hall could also have lost its chance for an NCAA appearance after losing to Notre Dame in the Big East Tournament. The win by the Irish probably means they have made it in to the field of 65.
The SEC Tournament starts today in Nashville.
