It’s officially March. Not only is it the first day of the month, but the first men’s conference tournament opened up on Monday night, as CCSU beat Fairleigh Dickinson in the first round of the Northeast Conference Tournament, while the Atlantic Sun, Horizon and Patriot League tournaments all begin procedings Tuesday night.
The Big East Tournament does not start until March 9 and Providence has already locked up the regular season title and the No. 1 seed, but with 10 conference games to go before the conclusion of the regular season on Saturday, there is still much to be decided as far as seeding and which teams will be forced to play four games in four days to try and win the Big East Tournament Championship.
