My brief comments: I love the Atlantic Sun tournament because it gets the Madness started! The higher seeds have generally been successful at winning the auto bid with a few exceptions over recent history. Lipscomb seems to be the best team but it sure would be fun to see North Alabama make the tourney for the first time. I am hoping one of them wins it, but the 3-6 seeds have a shot. Enjoy!
