Conference Tournament Video Notebook, Viewing Guide and Survival Board – Saturday, March 15

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 Video Notebook, Viewing Guide and Survival Board – Tuesday, March 11

The Championship Week Conference Tournament Video Notebook is back tonight with a special extended edition!  In today’s video podcast we go through all the major conferences and review recent results, discuss upcoming tournament games and debate how many teams will make the field from each league.  Lee joins us for most of this talk and (once again) makes his case for the Utah Utes.  We also do a review of all the conference tournament action from Sunday and Monday, update the Survival Board, and preview Tuesday’s games which will include four more tournament championships.  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.
