In two weeks, hundreds of thousands of people across the country will be filling out brackets.
This five-week stretch, from the start of the Atlantic Sun tournament tonight through the National Championship Game the first weekend in April, are the best. In the immediate future, there’s gonna be so much movement in conferences all over men’s college basketball this week that will shape conference tournaments and determine if some teams make the Big Dance.
Like I said, some smaller leagues will run their conference tourneys this week. Others will start later this week. Selection Sunday is March 17.
This week is the final week of the regular season for some prominent mid-majors and all the high-major conferences. Let’s see what big games are left on the schedule.
And if you’re looking for hubs for all the men’s and women’s conference tournaments, you’re in luck.
