Conference tournaments are fun.
They provide a few teams a chance to be called Cinderella by winning their tournament and earning an automatic bid to the NCAA Basketball Tournament.
Usually somewhere between 23 and 25 leagues go into their tournament knowing they are a one-bid conference for March Madness.
There are 32 automatic bids and 36 at-large, which are generally hogged by seven or eight conferences.
So this week is the only March Madness some teams will know first hand.
Going into Tuesday night’s games, five teams had punched their ticket to the Big Dance.
