CLEVELAND — It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
College basketball fans all over the country are signing that tune, with the arrival of conference tournaments, Selection Sunday just days away, and the NCAA tournament right around the corner.
For coaches, it’s the most stressful time of the year. Nowhere is that more true than in one-bid leagues like the Mid-American Conference. Coaches have 24 hours until their next game, which is always a must-win. That means formulating a game plan for the biggest game of the year into the wee hours of the night.
