You had already used Delaware State, so if you survive this week, you'll need to make an additional pick next week.

Whew, hanging in there by the skin of my teeth after surviving two reverse sweeps

I know that feeling of barely surviving!

The Bethune-Cookman/MVSU match that was picked by gbuttah , n00b , and me was originally scheduled for 5:00 ET Friday at Bethune's gym in Daytona.  Due to Hurricane Nicole, the match has been moved to today at 12:00 ET in Tallahassee.  I assume the picks will carry over.

(Bethune's 2:30 match tomorrow vs Jackson St will also be in Tallahassee.)

Edit: Not sure if it will be reported on NCAA.com, but Bethune-Cookman got the sweep.  There were no live stats I could find.  Not sure the youtube scoreboard was accurate, but scores were approximately -8, -13, -7.  The match was played at Florida A&M's gym.

FYI for picking conference tournaments - Per ncaa.com, these conferences hold their tournament during:

Week 13 (Nov 14-20) - America East, A10, ASun, Big South, Colonial, CUSA, Horizon, Ivy, MAAC, MEAC, Mo Valley (1st round), Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, SoCon, Southland, SWAC, Sun Belt, WAC.

Week 14 (Nov 21-27) - Big East, Big Sky, MAC, Mo Valley (later rounds), Mountain West, Summit.

Unlisted conferences assign the AQ to their regular-season champ.

Question for discussion - Will conference tournament games be pickable?

Yes, we'll have to allow conference tournament games since there won't be as many regular-season matches to pick from.

I just looked up the Conference USA, Sun Belt and WAC conference tournament schedules, but all of them say TBA. Are any conference tournament matches set? If so, what is/are the links for their schedules? Obviously they cannot be picked in the week 13 contest if they have not been specified and announced before the November 14, 6PM CT, correct?
