Taking a look at the schedule for every 2017 NCAA Basketball conference tournament to get March Madness underway

For the most part, college basketball fans often associate March Madness with the NCAA Tournament itself. The field of 68 all playing for the right to go to the Final Four and, ultimately, be crowned National Champions. However, there’s a definite argument to be made that March Madness begins with the start of the first NCAA Basketball conference tournament.

Obviously the big reason why that should be considered the proper form is what’s at stake. College basketball’s system of each conference tournament champion earning a berth in the NCAA Tournament puts a huge prize for each tourney. However, you also have seeding for the Big Dance being determined throughout all of this. If a team is on the bubble and makes a strong run—even if they don’t win—in their conference tournament, it can help them out a great deal.

And if you love March Madness for the great moments, you’d be hard-pressed to find a conference tournament that’s not full of those as well. Some of the more recent memorable moments in college hoops happened during conference tournament games. So that box is checked as well.

Therefore, you’ll want to catch all of the action in these games that you can. We’ve got you covered as to how you can do so.
