Here is a chart that summarizes how conferences are expected to fair between now -- just one hour 'til the Madness begins -- and when the Final Four is determined. Pac 12, Big 12, B1G, and ACC all have 7 teams in the tourney. The Pac 12 and Big 12 are expected to enter the weekend unscathed while one B1G and two ACC teams are expected to lose in Round 1.
Time permitting we will compare these expectations to actuals as the tournament progresses.
Enjoy today's games!
