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!

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.

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.
