Conference Tournament has taken a wild turn. Championship game will have these teams going for an automatic berth.

#5 Chico State vs. #3 Louisiana College

In addition to the Automatic bid from the game above, this is where our other teams stand after today's games:

#3 seed, UC Davis
#9 seed, Louisiana College
#11 seed, Hardin-Simmons

So, as you can see, the game above will matter, especially if Chioo State wins. They are not even on the bubble. If too many of those teams make it into the tournament, that may end up shoving Hardin-Simmons out just like it does in the real NCAA tournament.

Congratz to the Bot Louisiana College for our Tournament champion. 3 of our conference ended up making the National Tournament:

#4 seed - UC Davis (Regular Season Champs) vs. #13 Buffalo State College (Conference Tournament champ)
#9 seed - Louisiana College vs. #8 Emmanuel (Regular Season Champs)
#12 seed - Hardin-Simmons vs. # Luther (Conference Tournament and Regular Season Champs)

*note - all 3 of our opponents are Bots, and I realize Louisiana College is as well.

My predictions are that UC Davis wins, Louisiana College wins, and Hardin-Simmons loses. (that is hard to say, but Luther has done very very well this year.)

Hardin-Simmons pulls the upset! They actually played Defense today, and won 74-64. Turnovers seemed to be the biggest factor in this game. Hardin-Simmons created 19 Luther turnovers. Hardin-Simmons only had 12 turnovers, so a +7 in TO's may have contributed directly to the 10 point win!

UC Davis goes down in flames 107-100. Guess they are about to go BOT, but not in enough time to make that deep run. UC Davis could not do anything inside today. BOT Buffalo State setup a great game plan to take away the inside game and won both half's.

Our other team, BOT Louisiana College destroyed Emmanuel 104-77. Louisiana College destroyed the inside and outside today and shot 66.7% from the field. There was no stopping them at all today.

Just noticed that my starting PF and backup PF are both out for a few games now. My backup PF also played backup C, so I will have to bring in some walk on's for the 2nd round. Yikes!

Holy smokes......1 game left, and we have a 4 way tie for 1st place. One of the teams does not promote! Can't get any close than this on the final day of the season! What a league folks!

The sad thing is that none of the vi.15 teams is in the tournament yet, so it will burst someone's bubble.

Hey all, I'm new to the site and this particular simulator but I am curious/excited to see how all of this works. I was perusing this thread and found myself amazed at the dedication KokomoMantis put into covering this conference. As someone working towards becoming a sportswriter, along with an interest in sports simulation games, I figured it would be good practice to narrate the 2023 VI.15 Conference season.

So as of right now, it looks like New Hampshire, Louisiana College, North Dakota, Emory University, Pomona, Concordia New York, Hanover, and Radford are controlled by CPUs; half of the conference is controlled by human users. Considering that VI.15 is in Division III, having eight user-controlled teams seems solid and should nurture a more competitive season than other low-end conferences.

Next, I will provide brief overviews of the user-controlled teams first followed by the CPU teams.
