Updated Championship Week Predictions

Last night in the first round of the Big South, 7-seed Campbell (the Fighting Camels, if you recall) beat 10-seed Presbyterian (the Blue Hose, if you recall), while 8-seed Charleston Southern beat 9-seed Longwood.  In the first round of the Patriot League, 7-seed Loyola (MD) beat 10-seed Lafayette, and 8-seed Army took the first step in its quest for its first-ever NCAA Tournament berth by beating 9-seed American.  Three more tournaments start up today:  the America East, the NEC, and the OVC.  And then tomorrow, things really start to ramp up.  Get ready for it.

Here are the tournaments starting today, the tournaments with games today, bids up for grab today, who has already clinched an automatic berth, and my predictions for the remaining conference tournaments.

Tournaments starting today
-America East
-NEC
-OVC

Tournaments with games today
-America East
-NEC
-OVC

Bids up for grabs today
-None

Already clinched automatic berths (I will add in parentheses the NCAA tournament appearances for each school, including the bid just clinched)
-None

Because I am unhealthily obsessed with college basketball in March –- to the detriment of my marriage, children, friendships, work, sleep schedule, sanity, and wallet -- I have not only listed out every game and my predictions, but the date, time, and TV station(s) on which the game will appear, even if it's just local, regional, or online, to the extent that information is available.  Some conference tournament websites are better than others.  I want this to be as comprehensive as possible, so that you can always come here to figure out when any given team is playing.  I love you so much, you guys.  Don't you ever forget it.

Remaining Tournaments (all times are Eastern; to the extent there are teams that have clinched seeds in tournament fields that are not completely set, I will put those in)
