March is without a doubt the best month to be a basketball fan! Conference tournaments are in full swing, and Cinderella stories are already being written. One such story belongs to High Point University. The Panthers joined Div I in 1999 and will appear in the big dance for the first time. If the name sounds familiar, it's because of former Kentucky head coach Tubby Smith. Smith was a graduate of High Point and a head coach for a brief period of time before he retired.

Another awesome story involves a pair of scissors hung above a door for six years, waiting for the right time to be used. That time is now, and those scissors belong to SIEU. You've got to watch this inspiring, amazing story.

Here is a list of all automatic qualifiers so far:
