The Spartans&#8217; run included just one win of more than 11 points. Whether that\u2019s an example of good fortune or extreme consistency I\u2019ll leave as an exercise to the reader. What <em>was<\/em> good fortune was that, for some reason, NSU didn\u2019t have to play N.C. Central during the regular season. This created the possibility of the conference producing two regular-season unbeatens, which was thwarted when Savannah State knocked off NCCU in mid-February. That would turn out to be the lone Eagles&#8217; loss. They\u2019re the favorite despite the half-share of home-court I\u2019m giving Norfolk State (and Hampton, if you care).<\/p>\n<p>Numbers listed are the probabilities of a team advancing to each round.
