Three More Claim NCAA Tournament Berths

Three more schools earned automatic berths to the NCAA Tournament last night.  The top-seeded Long Island Blackbirds knocked off Robert Morris 90-73 to capture the Northeast Conference crown.  LIU fell to North Carolina in the first round of the NCAA Tournament last March.  Second-seeded Lehigh ousted number-one Bucknell 82-77 to secure the Patriot League berth into the field of 68.  Lehigh was in the tournament two years ago and lost to Kansas in the first round.  Top-seeded Montana took down number-two Weber State 85-66 in the championship game of the Big Sky tournament.  The Grizzlies are back in the tourney for the ninth time in program history.

Seven conference tournaments begin today.  The ACC, Big Ten, Big West, Great West, Mountain West, SEC and the WAC open their conference tournament schedules.  The Great West winner does not receive an automatic bid.
