Some would say conference tournament week beats out the first round of the NCAA tournament. I don’t know if I’m one of those people, but I’m sure excited for a lot more good, high-intensity basketball over the next few days leading up to Selection Sunday.
There have already been some epic finishes in championship games (looking at you, Chattanooga!) and the win-and-in basketball continues tonight in the Patriot League final.
Conference Tournaments Underway
The first of the Power 6 tournaments began Tuesday when the ACC kicked things off. The remaining five begin today. Until some of the better teams take the court later in the week, these games are rather bleak (as anyone who watched the first three ACC tourney games can attest to), but there’s some tournament intrigue today, namely in the ACC and Big East.
