2022 CBB Conference Tournament Predictions
14 min readIt’s that time of year, and there’s no better way to prep for the bracket that really matters than by filling out a bunch of smaller brackets. As more and more tournaments start, it’s time to move this over from Mike Bets. Each of these sets of predictions will be posted the morning of the first round of each tournament and won’t be changed from there. Let’s see how we do. My record for each tournament, updated throughout, will be in parentheses next to the conference name.
Overall record: 200-101
Picking Champ: 15-17 (8 of 17 losses lost in champ game)

Atlantic Sun Tournament (6-5) Champion ❌
There’s a division-based format going on here for anyone confused on the duplicate seeds. Essentially, the 3/6 and 4/5 games are cross-division, with the 1 seeds matched up with the 4/5 game that has their division’s team as the 5 seed and the 2 seeds matched up with the 3/6 game that has their division’s team as the 6 seed. Those games will be played through regardless of seeding – the 1s play the 4/5 winners and 2s play the 3/6 winners – and the four teams standing after the second round will be reseeded for the semifinals. Like the NEC tournament, all games will be played on the campus of the higher seed.
