This page will be frequently updated throughout Conference Tournament week with insights on how wins, losses, and upsets will affect the eventual tournament Bracket.
SATURDAY
BUBBLE - Of the 21 non-Power 5 conference tournaments this week, eleven were won by the tournament's #1 seed. Teams like Villanova, George Washington, and Liberty all won their tournaments, limiting the impact of the infamous "stolen bid" possibility. Manhattan, as the #6 seed in the MAAC, was the lowest seed from any league to advance to the NCAA tournament.
BIG 10 - Northwestern lost to Nebraska on Saturday in a 5-4 final score. The Wildcats won the first two games of the series and entered the day at an RPI of 60. Losing to the 134th-ranked Nebraska will not help the Wildcats' already-questionable chance at an at-large bid to the tournament.
A10 - George Washington beat Dayton in the winner-take-all championship game to take home the A10 crown. The Colonials could find themselves with a regional 3-seed on Sunday night thanks to a high RPI, or could fall into a regional 4-seed position.
