News On The Horizon 3/1/2022

Conference Tourney Previews (Part 1 of 2)--Hoops HD

Horizon tourney predicted champ: Purdue Fort Wayne (#2 seed)
Dates: March 1-8
Location: Campus sites and Indianapolis, IN
2021 tourney champ: Cleveland State (#1 seed)
Fun fact: Northern Kentucky has won this tourney 3 times in past 5 years
Seeding: each of past 4 champs were top-2 seed
It is hard to NOT pick the Norse (who have won this tourney 3 times in 4 years) or the Vikings (who are the #1 seed), but it is also hard to overlook the ridiculous run that the Mastodons are on. Coach Jon Coffman finished January with back-to-back losses on the road, but since then he has won 9 in a row including a triple-OT win over Cleveland State after overcoming a 14-PT 2nd half deficit! They start 5 seniors including 5’8” PG Damian Chong-Qui, who already showed that he can deliver in March when he scored 14 PTS in last year’s 1st 4 as a player at Mt. St. Mary’s.
