College Basketball Conference Tournaments


| 2006-07

College basketball conference tournaments are as exciting as much of what happens in the NCAA Tournament. They are single-elimination, and the winner of each NCAA college basketball conference tournament gets an automatic spot in the league-wide 65-team championship tournament.

Most conference tournaments are scheduled to begin in early March, but some begin Tuesday, February 27, 2007. Tuesday afternoon InsideHoops.com rolls out previews. Our March Madness coverage rocks and kicks into full gear Tuesday-Thursday.
