Championship Week Video Notebook: Wednesday, March 9th

Chad, David, and John recap Tuesday night’s conference tournament action, and look ahead to what is a very busy Wednesday.  Green Bay, South Dakota State, Fairleigh Dickinson, and Gonzaga clinched automatic bids, and the MEAC, SWAC, Conference USA, and Big Sky Tournaments tipped off.  Saint Mary’s is right on the bubble after losing to Gonzaga, and we discuss what we think their chances are of making the field.
