CHAMPIONSHIP
Saturday, March 7
Game 7: Game 5 winner vs. Game 6 winner (ESPN2, 8 p.m.)
Team to watch: Tennessee-Martin. The Skyhawks have the number one seed and are the team to beat in this tournament and everyone will have their eyes on this team because of...
Player to watch: Lester Hudson. The best player that you have never heard of. Hudson passed up the chance at the NBA last year to come back and get his degree and to try to become a guaranteed first round pick. He is a flat out stud!
Upset watch: Austin Peay. They received the NCAA tournament bid last year, beat UT-Martin at home and took them to OT on the road.
Tourney watch: Austin Peay will probably meet up against Murray State with the winner getting to face the Skyhawks. Hudson will not let his team lose and Tennessee-Martin will advance to the Big Dance. If you are top seed in the tournament, this will not be a team you would want to face in the first round!
