Auto Bid Alert: ALABAMA STATE

The undisputed captain of college basketball's all-name team, seven-footer Chief Kickingstallionsims, and his Alabama State teammates (including less-heralded all-name nominee Ivory White) are headed to the Big Dance. Despite a great conference record of 16-2, the Hornets are due for a 16 seed due to the relatively poor quality of the SWAC, a conference composed of a number historically black colleges.
