TGIF conference tournament open thread: America East, AAC, Big 12, Southern begin today

Four more conferences begin their tournaments today after an exciting slate of games yesterday.

Whether Kansas State wins or loses, Leti Romero is a point guard worth watching in the Big XII.

It's Friday, and the madness is just getting started.

A few of yesterday's highlights from around the nation (and feel free to let us know which games you found interesting in the comments):

  • Florida State needed overtime to beat Miami. JP Mundy of SB Nation's Wake Forest blog Blogger So Dear recapped that one.
  • North Carolina Diamond DeShields is still the truth and used her truthiness to score a team-high 17 points to help the Tar Heels' overcome a 29-point performance from Wake Forest's Dearica Hamby.
  • In what was the last game of legendary basketball coach Paul Westhead's career at Oregon, the Ducks and Washington State Cougars set a Pac-12 tournament scoring record.
  • In a game with considerably less national significance, Jennifer Azzi's San Francisco Dons pulled out another dramatic win against Loyola Marymount with junior guard getting two steals, two offensive rebounds, and a game-winning shot in the final 15 seconds. Crazy finish. Video available at our recap.
  • Christina Foggie was injured in the second half of Vanderbilt's loss to Georgia.

Fun day. Here's hoping for more fun today.
