As conference tournaments get underway, it's important to identify who the best Cinderellas are and which conference tournaments have them. Specifically, which conference tournaments do we want the favorite to win?
I love a chaotic conference tournament season as much as the next guy. But the more chaos there is among the conference tournies, the weaker the auto-bid seeds are. As a result, there's usually a chalkier NCAA tournament. On the flip side, the more favorites win, the stronger the auto-bids, and the more upsets there are.
So while it is always fun to see a surprise 12-21 team in the conference championship game, if you want a more chaotic NCAA bracket, root for the Drakes, the UC-San Diegos, and the High Points of the country. (Of course, in 2018, 12 seed Vermont was stunned in their conference title game and got replaced by 16 seed UMBC, and that ended up working out, to say the least. So, you never know).
