Let’s take a look at my current Horizon League Conference Power Ratings heading into the Conference Tournament.
- Butler 83.29
- Wisconsin Green Bay 81.14
- Cleveland State 80.78
- Illinois Chicago 76.72
- Wright State 74.27
- Valparaiso 73.72

- Youngstown State 73.09
- Loyola Chicago 71.69
- Detroit 65.78
Unless somebody upsets Butler in the Conference Tournament, we probably will not see another one of these teams in the Big Dance. One team to look out for is Wisconsin Green Bay. Wisconsin Green Bay is 22-9 overall and 13-5 in conference play. Cleveland State has also played well this year and sports a 21-10 overall record and 12-6 conference record. I think those are the three teams that has a chance of winning. The Mid Pack of Illinois Chicago, Wright State, Valpo and Wisconsin Milwaukee are ok teams but don’t have enough to beat the Top 3. The Bottom feeders are Youngstown State, Loyola Chicago and Detroit and they will be ending their season soon.
MY PICK TO WIN: Butler
SLEEPER: Cleveland State
LONG SHOT: Illinois Chicago
