One Day left until Selection Sunday!  As we move towards the end of Championship Week, Kyle joins David and I again to review exactly where the Committee stands as of tonight.  While David has, unfortunately, been banned from the real Committee room, our mock committee has selected 6 more at-large bid winners and preliminarily seeded the first 8 seed lines.  We discuss how the committee will deal with results from Saturday and Sunday games, review all of Friday’s action, and preview every game on Saturday (Viewing Guide below).  Finally, our Survival Board has been updated (see below as well).  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.

Welcome to another edition of the HoopsHD Championship Week Conference Tournament Video Notebook.  Today we have two video podcasts!  Up first, Kyle makes an attempt to get David and I to agree on a Field of 68, as the three of us build a complete bracket that includes a potential Round of 32 matchup involving a pair of teams from the Bluegrass State.  After that, David and I come back for a recap of Tuesday’s action and a preview of Wednesday’s games.  Also, check out the Viewing Guide and Survival Board, below.
