Bullet Points- Holy Cross is back in the NCAA Tournament after beating Bucknell in the third consecutive Bison-Crusader title game. It's not a rivalry unless both teams get to win.
- Nevada was sent out of the WAC tourney with a freaky foul moment against Utah State. In other No. 4-over-1 action, Toledo was upset by Miami (Oh.) in the MAC semis.
- Nothing but finals from here on out: autobids in the America East, Big West, Mid-American, MEAC, SWAC and WAC. The Southland takes a day off and goes at it tomorrow.
- Autobids: Pennsylvania, Winthrop, Eastern Kentucky, Davidson, Creighton, Virginia Commonwealth, Niagara, Wright State, Oral Roberts, North Texas, Central Connecticut State, Weber State, Holy Cross.
- NIT: Austin Peay, Marist, East Tennessee State, South Alabama, Toledo and Southern Illinois (SIU won't need it, though).
