4 Tournament Tickets to be punched tonight- who should Cal fans root for?

Colonial Basketball Championship- Old Dominion vs. William and Mary, 4 PM PT ESPN


Who to root for: Old Dominion

Why: Old Dominion by no means is a lock, they have a solid resume that could land them in the tourney easily. They’re likely in no matter what. William and Mary is a very fringe bubble team, but they have far less of a chance. Go Old Dominion!

Metro Atlantic Basketball Championship- Siena vs. Fairfield, 4 PM PT, ESPN2

Who to root for: Siena

Why: Similar to Old Dominion, Siena might receive an at-large bid if they lose here. Cal needs as many bids as possible available. Fairfield has no chance whatsoever of getting an at-large bid.

West Coast Conference Basketball Championship- St. Mary’s vs. Gonzaga, 6 PM PT, ESPN

Who to root for: Gonzaga

Why: Gonzaga had their bid sealed a long time ago. Despite the fact I don’t like the Zags, they have to be the pick. St. Mary’s looks impressive with their record, but they are no guarantee of a bid.

Southern Conference Basketball Championship- Wofford vs. Appalachian State, 6 PM PT, ESPN2

Who to root for: Take your pick!

Why: Neither team has a bubble shot. I’ll root for Wofford because its their first Southern Conference Championship game.
