This is the final week of the regular season for some conferences and this is the week of the conference tournaments for others. This time of year, pretty much everyone needs wins to continue to improve their resume for a better seed or to make their case for an at-large bid.
Get ready because this is going to be a fun month of March!
In this article, I’ll be giving my projected seeds. I won’t, however, be putting teams in regions or locations I think they’ll be playing in the first weekend of the Big Dance.
