Championship Week is Actually Two Weeks, Starting Tomorrow

We all know that the calendar turned to March a little over 36 hrs ago, but did you know that we’re already on the verge of conference tournament season?  ESPN’s ballyhooed Championship Week doesn’t start for another seven days, but some of the smaller conferences are ready to tip it off and crown a champion.  Immediately, as in…  Tomorrow. 

Yes, the Big South, OVC and Horizon are all playing elimination games within the next 24 hours, and we’re quite sure that you weren’t aware of that.  The Patriot League begins Wednesday, and there will be ten other conferences that will start their tournament extravaganzas this week, with five of those finishing before Saturday is through.  In order to keep up with it all, we produced this schedule for our own internal use that might as well be made public for you guys also. 

Also keep in mind that RTC Live will be attending the festivities this week in St. Louis, Richmond and Las Vegas for the MVC, CAA and WCC Tournaments, respectively.  Should be a blast at all three of those high mids.

  • Quick correction, the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament's first round games, all four of them, will be played at on campus sites Tuesday night. (#5 Eastern Kentucky at #4 Morehead State, #8 Tennessee Tech at #1 UT Martin, #7 Eastern Illinois at #2 Austin Peay, #6 Tennessee State at #3 Murray State) The four surviving teams head for Nashville and the semifinals on Friday night (both semis on ESPNU), with the championship game on Saturday night at 8 pm on ESPN2.

    • WVDave, actually, we did know the first round sites are on campus tomorrow, but since the semis/finals are in Nashville, we decided to simplify things and just put that location down. Check out our OVC Tourney preview post here.
