You've seen our picks for the NCAA Tournament from the major conferences. Here's a look at who we think will represent the other leagues:

AMERICA EAST
Delaware
Mike Brey's a Coach K protege.
BIG SKY
Montana State
Nate Holmstadt won't be denied.
BIG SOUTH
UNC Asheville
Bounced in '98 league tourney; won't happen this year.
BIG WEST
Idaho
If you can't beat 'em, sign up the jucos; five are incoming.
COLONIAL ATHLETIC
UNC Wilmington
Four returning starters, led by PG Stan Simmons.
IVY
Princeton
Slow and steady wins the race; coach Bill Carmody is 51-6 in two seasons.
METRO ATLANTIC
Iona
New coach Jeff Ruland will tutor already super frontcourt of Kashif Hameed and Tariq Kirksay.
MID-AMERICAN
Miami (Ohio)
In addition to being a great shooter (49.2% 3-pt.), SF Wally Szczerbiak is an ironman, too (38.2 mpg).
MID-CONTINENT
Valparaiso
We'll take our chances with Homer Drew.
MID-EASTERN ATHLETIC
Hampton
Move over, Coppin State.
MIDWESTERN COLLEGIATE
Detroit
Led by G Jermaine "Hee-hee" Jackson (12.1 ppg, 4.7 apg).
MISSOURI VALLEY
Southwest Missouri State
Will coach Steve Alford be headed back to Indiana after he leads the Bears to the Dance for the first time since '92?
NORTHEAST
Mount St. Mary's
Coach Jim Phelan is one of the good guys, and his 785 career wins aren't too bad either.
OHIO VALLEY
Tennessee State
Five starters back at Anthony Mason's alma mater.
PATRIOT
Lafayette
A process of elimination in this league. None of the teams is that good.
SOUTHERN
Charleston
Don't impeach Jermel President!
SOUTHLAND
Southwest Texas State
Not that it matters—Southland rep will lose to NCAA top seed anyway.
SOUTHWESTERN ATHLETIC
Southern
Hard to beat a name like Adarrial Smylie, the Jaguars' 6'7" center
SUN BELT
Florida International
Coach Marcos "Shakey" Rodriguez returns all starters.
TRANS AMERICA ATHLETIC
Georgia State
We love Lefty.
WEST COAST
St. Mary's
Brad "Big Continent" Millard returns from a broken foot.
