The road to the Big Dance, aka the NCAA Tournament, began in earnest this weekend. The first bid was earned today as the Cornell Big Red clinched the Ivy League championship with an 86-53 win over Harvard. The Ivy League is the only remaining conference that does not have a post-season tournament. So, Cornell will play regular season games for a couple more weeks, then await their NCAA tournament destination.
Post-season conference tournaments begin in earnest on Tuesday, when the Big South, Ohio Valley, and Horizon League kick off their tournaments. The fun really begins on Saturday, March 8, when the first of 30 post-season tournaments are decided, with the accompanying automatic bids to the Big Dance.
I love Championship Week. More to come in the days ahead...
