If you are a college basketball fan, this is the most critical and greatest time of the season.
With the NCAA Tournament just around the corner, fans now need to be aware of each conference’s tournament schedule.
Conference Tournament Schedules
While the Atlantic Sun Tournament started on March 2, conferences like the Ohio Valley, Big South, Summit, Sun Belt, Horizon, Northeast, and Patriot either kicked off tournament play yesterday or will do so today.
Other major conferences, such as the ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, and SEC, will begin tournament play on either March 11th or 12th.

Fans can watch games on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, CBS, CBS Sports Network, and Fox.
While Selection Sunday is just 11 days away, this is the most critical time of the year for teams looking to make a statement on their way into the NCAA Tournament. It is also an opportunity for teams that did not have the best regular season to try to get an automatic bid.
Conference Tournaments With the Most Hype Surrounding Them
Of course, a lot of coverage is going to be focused on major tournaments like the Big Ten, ACC, SEC, Big East, and Big 12.
As many as 10 or 11 SEC teams could make the NCAA Tournament, which is why all eyes could be on Nashville next week.
On the other hand, a conference like the Big East, which is one of the most competitive leagues in the entire country, could only have five teams make the NCAA Tournament.
That is why it is significant for teams like the 18-13 Villanova Wildcats (11-9 in conference), who are on the cusp of either making or missing the NCAA Tournament. A strong showing in the Big East Tournament at Madison Square Garden next week could propel them into the NCAA Tournament.
