ANALYSIS: First Four from Dayton. It probably helps some if a team has played in this event before, and Texas A&M-CC did last year, losing to Texas Southern. Pretty much everyone of note is back from that Islanders team and they were the regular season and conference tournament champions of the Southland. SEMO finished fifth in the Ohio Valley before getting hot in the league tournament. A&M-CC is without Southland Defensive Player of the Year Terrion Murdix, but I think still has enough to advance. A bit higher and I was going to pass on this one because of Murdix's absence.
