Last night’s Big South and Horizon League losers knocked eight teams from the ranks of national title contenders. That leaves a total of 310 teams vying for the crown this season. Liberty, Winthrop, Charleston Southern, Gardner-Webb, Illinois-Chicago, Green Bay, Loyola (Ill) and Youngstown State — we’ll see you again next year!
Coming next: eight more teams eliminated from the Atlantic Sun, Ohio Valley and Patriot Leagues tonight.
