There's a few more to be added when I get a few minutes and work doesn't get in the way. :)

[PeachtreeCat]

Yea, USA Today has a good writeup on all of them this week.- all 15 of them.

[Wildcat Larry]

Update .... now includes all conferences with tournaments starting this week.

Strangely, these minor conference tournaments might have a bearing on UK's fate on Selection Sunday.

We need Missouri State, Creighton, Wichita State, or Northern Iowa to win the MVC. All four of those teams are going anyway; don't need a dark horse out of that league.

We need Bucknell to win the Patroit.

Air Force to win the Mountain West.

Hoftstra or UNC Wilmington to win the Colonial Athletic.

Memphis to win Conference USA.

Gonzaga to win the West Coast.

Nevada to win the Western Athletic.

You are absolutlely correct. You can add GW to that list too. Also UK fans better hope a team in a major conference that would likely get an large bid no matter what wins their conference tourney. If say, South Carolina pulls a shocker and wins the SEC then UK could very easily be left at home.
