Updated Championship Week Predictions

Last night, in the first round of the Big South Tournament -- which I can't read without thinking Big Dirty South -- 10-seed Longwood upset 7-seed High Point, keeping the Lancers' extremely long shot of a first-ever NCAA Tournament alive.  Meanwhile, 8-seed Charleston Southern ended 9-seed Presbyterian's season, meaning there will once again be no Blue Hose in the NCAA Tournament.  In the first round of the Patriot League Tournament, 8-seed Loyola (MD) took down 9-seed Army, which means the Black Knights will remain one of the four original D-1 teams never to have made the NCAA Tournament.  Also, 7-seed Lafayette beat 10-seed American.  Both tournaments will take a one-day hiatus before returning to action on Thursday.

Today, three more tournaments tip off -- the Big Ten, the NEC, and the OVC.  Jim Delaney's "New York experiment" means that the Big Ten Tournament starts the earliest it ever has in its 20 years, and the Big Ten becomes the first major conference to start its conference tournament in February since 1980, when the SEC Tournament started on February 27 and the ACC and Big East Tournaments started on February 28.  I'm still not exactly sure why Delaney decided to put the Big Ten Tournament in a state with no Big Ten school, but then again, I'm still not sure why Rutgers is a part of the Big Ten.

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.

Because I am unhealthily obsessed with college basketball in March -- to the detriment of my marriage, children, friendships, work, sleep schedule, sanity, wallet, and loyalty to Xenu -- 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)
