Conference tournaments begin
There are 13 conference tournaments kicking off between today and Sunday. You know what that means? Weekday afternoon basketball is right around the corner. The first game starting before 4 p.m. CST on a weekday begins Thursday. The Big South quarterfinals will keep us entertained that afternoon. That will start a long streak of non-stop good basketball going right through Selection Sunday. I’m going to try as hard as possible to keep pumping out brackets. But there will be one right before the show starts and hopefully we end up ranking well at the end.
As always, Deceptive Speed’s Bracketology is part of the Bracket Matrix.

Austin has found a love for blogging and will rant about anything. He may not always be right about college football, but he’s a great follow on twitter @watlher924 during hoops season.
