I am glad we were able to be part of Omaha's meteoric rise to the top of the Summit (the summit of the summit, one might say). This trash can celebration they've been doing all year is amazing. Good for that coach and program - just a bunch of dudes having fun.

Alabama State won their semifinal game. That means all 4 participants in the ABC made it to their semifinal at the very least, with Omaha, Alabama State and potentially Akron reaching their conference finals. Lamar lost to McNeese St in their semifinal game, Omaha won their conference, and we will see what happens with ASU & Akron. 

 

People scoffed at the ABC, but it was a mini version of the MAC tournament - 3 games in 3 days vs above average competition. 

 

UPDATE: 3/4 teams have at least made their conference final. Akron Basketball Classic produces champions.

Oh wow you're correct. Thought that was a semifinal game for some reason. So all 4 participants made their conference final at the very least.

Incredible. 

I was at almost all of those sparsely attended games at the JAR.  The drawback was that those 3 games in one weekend left the Zips with big gap of home games leading into January.  I doubt they do it again, but I thought it was a lot of fun.
