There will also be three NCAA Tournament berths awarded, with the Patriot League (Navy vs. American), Southland (Lamar vs. McNeese State) and Big Sky (Montana vs. Northern Colorado) conferences all holding their tournament championship games.

Add in triple- and quadruple-headers scheduled at the power conference tournaments, and it's the start of a magical few weeks for college basketball junkies.
