2022 Big Ten Tournament: Schedule, Bracket, Recent History, TV/Streaming Info
Indiana, Michigan, and Rutgers (despite being seeded fourth) are all in varying levels of bubble trouble heading to Indianapolis. While the top three seeds managed to finish at least two games better than the rest of the conference, five teams finished either 12-8 or 11-9 in Big Ten play. That could portend a very competitive week.
2022 American Athletic Tournament: Schedule, Bracket, Recent History, TV/Streaming Info
Houston heads to Fort Worth as an NCAA lock, though the Cougars’ chances at a top four seed are all but gone after winning just one of four games against their main league rivals, Memphis and SMU. The Tigers are probably going to make the field provided they don’t stumble in the quarters, while the Mustangs might need to reach the final.

2022 Atlantic 10 Tournament: Schedule, Bracket, Recent History, TV/Streaming Info
Davidson is the No. 1 seed and a NCAA lock. Dayton and VCU both have at-large chances, but a potential Saturday semifinal looms as an elimination game for the loser. But bubble fans beware, as teams like St. Bonaventure, Saint Louis, and Richmond could go on a run in Washington, D.C. to steal a bid on Selection Sunday afternoon.
2022 SEC Tournament: Schedule, Bracket, Recent History, TV/Streaming Info
The top four seeds in this season’s SEC bracket finished four games up on a quintet that finished 9-9. But don’t think that means Auburn, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Arkansas will have a walk to the semifinals in Tampa. This could be one of the most intriguing tournaments of 2022, particularly with seeds 7 through 10 still having some chance at reaching the field. Oh, there’s also the matter of a potential No. 1 seed for Auburn and UK.
2022 Ivy League Tournament: Schedule, Bracket, Recent History, TV/Streaming Info
The fourth edition of Ivy Madness is the first since 2019. It’s also the first without Harvard—who just happens to be hosting this season. Based on the standings, you might think that both Princeton and Yale should easily make the final. However, each semifinal is a rubber match.

Five games. Five bids. Final moments of bubble worry.
2022 WAC Tournament: Schedule, Bracket, Recent History, TV/Streaming Info
The expanded WAC has an expanded tournament, one that has to play at two venues for scheduling reasons. This year the conference implemented a stepladder bracket, which isn’t great for a league that saw five teams finish with either four or five losses.
2022 Southland Conference Tournament: Schedule, Bracket, Recent History, TV/Streaming Info
The Southland retained its stepladder bracket despite dropping down to eight members for this season. All eight teams will make the trip to Katy, Texas for a second time this year, as the conference played a non-league tip-off tournament back in January. Top-seeded Nicholls lost the championship game of that event to second-seeded Southeastern Louisiana, 77-72.
2022 Big West Tournament: Schedule, Bracket, Recent History, TV/Streaming Info
Few conferences dealt with quite as many interruptions this season as the Big West. That means things are fairly wide open. Long Beach State managed just three conference losses, but the next four seeds were all within two defeats while playing differing schedules.
2022 Pac-12 Tournament: Schedule, Bracket, Recent History, TV/Streaming Info
Despite Bill Walton’s protestations, the Conference of Champions is poised to send just three teams to the 2022 NCAA Tournament. However, if a surprise like Colorado, Oregon, Washington, or Washington State can get hot, maybe they can emulate Oregon State’s surprise title of 2021.
2022 Conference USA Tournament: Schedule, Bracket, Recent History, TV/Streaming Info
C-USA won’t be a 14-member conference for much longer, but this year’s tournament at least sees the league’s entire membership traveling to Frisco. North Texas is the favorite and a possible at-large team should it lose. However, the Mean Green’s chances took a hit with Saturday’s loss at UTEP.
2022 ACC Tournament: Schedule, Bracket, Recent History, TV/Streaming Info
Brooklyn will be Bubbleville this week. Duke is clearly in. UNC should be following Saturday’s win in Durham. But Notre Dame, Miami, and Wake Forest are on less solid ground, while Virginia, Virginia Tech, and any potential surprise that goes on a 2021 Georgia Tech-like run can shake up the at-large picture too.
2022 Big Sky Conference Tournament: Schedule, Bracket, Recent History, TV/Streaming Info
Montana State heads to Boise as the No. 1 seed, but Southern Utah, who finished two games behind the Bobcats in the standings, will look to claim a Big Sky title on its way to the WAC.
2022 MAC Tournament: Schedule, Bracket, Recent History, TV/Streaming Info
For the second season in a row, the MAC’s postseason event is limited to the top eight teams in the conference. it could be a wild weekend in Cleveland, as second-seeded Kent State swept top-seeded Toledo, while No. 3 seed Ohio lost twice to the Rockets and went 1-1 against the Golden Flashes.
2022 SWAC Tournament: Schedule, Bracket, Recent History, TV/Streaming Info
The now 12-team SWAC still only features eight teams in its conference tournament. It begins in Birmingham, Alabama today with a pair of quarterfinal contests.
2022 Mountain West Tournament: Schedule, Bracket, Recent History, TV/Streaming Info
The Mountain West is likely to send four teams to the 2022 NCAA Tournament: Boise State, Colorado State, San Diego State, and Wyoming. However, Fresno State, UNLV, and Utah State are all feisty enough to claim the auto bid and bump that total up to five.
2022 Big East Tournament: Schedule, Bracket, Recent History, TV/Streaming Info
Providence might have won the regular season title, but you would have to consider the Friars the third favorite to cut down the nets at Madison Square Garden behind both Villanova and UConn. The Huskies should have a big crowd behind them.
2022 Big 12 Tournament: Schedule, Bracket, Recent History, TV/Streaming Info
If Saturday’s final in Kansas City features Kansas and Baylor, the top two seeds, a national No. 1 seed will be on the line. But don’t discount the conference’s other at-large threats, particularly Texas Tech and TCU.
2022 MAAC Tournament: Schedule, Bracket, Recent History, TV/Streaming Info
Until February arrived, it looked like Iona was going to cruise to a perfect conference record and an at-large bid. But losses at Niagara and Siena, and a later defeat at Manhattan, have left the Gaels needing to win three games in Atlantic City to get back to the field of 68.
2022 MEAC Tournament: Schedule, Bracket, Recent History, TV/Streaming Info
The MEAC now only has only eight members and didn’t play with a divisional format this season, so 2022’s tournament has a simplified format, even if the quarterfinals are still spread over two nights. Norfolk State won the regular season title by three games over Howard and NC Central.
2022 America East Playoffs: Schedule, Bracket, Recent History, TV/Streaming Info
Vermont won the regular-season title by a whopping six games, losing only by a point at 2021 champ Hartford—after OT. So, the Catamounts are a heavy favorite, particularly since one of their main rivals won’t participate.

Championship Fortnight Viewing Guide: Thursday, March 10, 2022
This is the peak of Selection Week, as 61 elimination games are on today’s slate, though just 12 have some sort of bubble implication (and in some cases, that’s a stretch). It’s all downhill between now and Selection Sunday.
2022 Patriot League Tournament: Schedule, Bracket, Recent History, TV/Streaming Info
Colgate is the No. 1 seed for the third time in four years, with the Raiders looking for a third NCAA bid in that span. Second-seeded Navy will be their main competition despite the Gate’s regular season sweep.
Championship Fortnight Viewing Guide: Wednesday, March 9, 2022
This Wednesday’s busy schedule is just the precursor to a Thursday and Friday that will both be busy and loaded. Tonight’s Patriot League final will see the final automatic bid awarded until the America East final wraps up early on Saturday afternoon.
2022 WCC Tournament: Schedule, Bracket, Recent History, TV/Streaming Info
The WCC has a pair of NCAA Tournament locks in Gonzaga and Saint Mary’s and a pair of bubble teams in San Francisco and BYU. The conference’s stepladder bracket causes a problem for both the Dons and Cougars in that they’ll need to play in a 4 vs. 5 quarterfinal on Saturday—if BYU wins its Friday second-round game.
2022 Summit League Tournament: Schedule, Bracket, Recent History, TV/Streaming Info
South Dakota State became the first conference member to record a perfect Summit League campaign. Can the Jackrabbits win three more to claim a spot in March Madness 2022?

Reduced to a nine-team event for this season, any one of the top five seeds could win out in the Nation’s Capital. But the top-seeded Towson Tigers are the most likely champ.
