On the latest Video Notebook, Kyle Lamb — the internet’s foremost expert on the selection process — joins in once again and begins walking us through exactly what the Selection Committee is doing today and tomorrow, and shows us the results of a first ballot.  We also review Thursday’s busy schedule, preview Friday (Viewing Guide below) and update the Survival Board (see below).  All that and more!

Conference Tournament Viewing Guide

This is the list of conference tournament games on the schedule for today, together with their available television/webstreaming options.  Please note that I only list webstreams for games without national television coverage, even if a stream may also be available. “Local TV” means that the game does not have full national coverage and you should check your local listings.  All times are Eastern.
