2013 Big South Tournament Predictions

This is exciting, the Big South Tournament this year will be held in a brand new venue, the HTC Center on the campus of Coastal Carolina. Not only that, it's darn close to Myrtle Beach, which I hear is a great place. And on that note, since I have a goal of doing conference tournament previews because I am nuts, here are my predictions for the 2013 Big South Basketball Tournament.
