Yesterday marked the beginning of March, and today serves as the official start of conference tournament play, with the ASUN Tournament kicking us off with two games in the opening round. Mid-major tournaments are now underway, setting the stage for intense battles as teams fight for their spot in the NCAA Tournament.
In honor of the madness, I’ve predicted the winner of each mid-major conference tournament based on what I’ve seen, along with some bold picks considering the parity that defines this time of year.
In two weeks, we’ll see how many of these predictions were correct.
