March Madness Schedule 2013: Championship Week Conference Tourneys And Winners

Culture

The NCAA Tournament has 31 automatic bids that are awarded to conference champions. Those champions are decided by 30 conference basketball tournaments (The Ivy League has no tournament, the regular season champ is given the automatic bid). The other 37 bids are at-large and awarded by the selection committee on March 17.

The lead up to Selection Sunday is one of the most exciting weeks of basketball. Check out a list of all the conference tournament championship games, along with what channel they will be available for viewing.

**UPDATE** We will update this blog, listing the winners each conference tournament so you know each automatic bid:
