The minutes continue an unprecedented and predictable overview of all conference tournaments, including who will win the award:
Ranking Pomeroy League: 12th out of 32.
Best Favorite: VCU (25-6 in total, 16-2 in the league).
NCAA Tournament Outlook: VCU is indifferent. Davidson and Dayton could have an outside chance of being considered by making the final tournament. Everyone must win this tournament.
Sleeper: Rhode Island. The eighth seeded finished the regular season on a four-game winning streak, including a surprise win at Dayton and a two-game division against VCU.
Boss of the Latlines: Davidson's Bob McKillop competed in eight NCAA tournaments. Eleven years ago, he and guard named Steph Curry took the Wildcats to a Final Four level.
<p type = "text" content = "Minutes: Davidson (21). The most accurate 3-point shooting team in the league at a conference is fortunate to make its way into the three-part dance in Brooklyn. "Data-reactid =" 26 "> Choice of minutes: Davidson (21). The most accurate 3-point shooting team in the league during the conference has a chance to break into the dance with three hot shooting matches in Brooklyn.
Ranking Pomeroy League: Sixth of 32.
Best favorite: Houston (29-2 in total, 16-2 in the league).
Overview of NCAA Tournaments: Houston, Cincinnati and Central Florida look like locks. Temple may have hit his ticket by winning six of his last seven. Everyone must win the tournament.
Sleeper: Wichita State. A team filled with newcomers has begun a conference 1-6, and has won nine of its last 11 games.
Most intriguing match of the start of the round: A potentially 4-5 match between UCF and Memphis in quarter-final on Friday.
Sidekick: Kelvin Sampson (Houston) and Gregg Marshall (Wichita) went to the Final Four. Mick Cronin of Cincinnati has the longest run of NCAA Tournament entries – this year will be his ninth.

Ranking Pomeroy League: Third out of 32.
Best favorite: Virginia (28-2, 16-2 in the league).
Overview of NCAA Tournaments: Virginia, North Carolina and Duke are all present and receive a ticket for the best seeds. Florida State, Virginia Tech and Louisville are all present. Syracuse should be there, thanks to a victory to Duke that cancels several bad defeats. Clemson and the state of North Carolina are on the slimmest side of the bubble. Everyone must win the tournament.
Sleeper: Florida State has won 12 of its last 13 games and has the best defense percentage in the battlefield during a league game.
Most intriguing match of the start of the round: Potential Quarterfinal Syracuse-Duke. The expected return of Zion Williamson.
Boss: The only division in America where Roy Williams would not be the boss is this one, thanks to Mike Krzyzewski.
<p type = "text" content = "Minutes: Duc (23). After an interruption caused by injury, the best team in the United States can once again become the best team in the United States. "Data-reactid =" 42 "> Choice of minutes: Duc (23). After an interruption caused by injury, the best team in the United States can once again become the best team in the United States.
Ranking of the Pomeroy League: Second out of 32.
Best favorite: Kansas State (24-7, 14-4 in the league).
Prospects for NCAA tournaments: Kansas State, Texas Tech, Kansas, Baylor and Iowa State are all considered locks. Oklahoma, TCU and Texas are trying to be heard despite the loss of conference records. The other two must win the tournament.
Sleeper: State of Oklahoma. Yeah, it's a very long shot for the ninth team to really upset the work. But the Cowboys have won their last two games (Baylor, West Virginia), had almost already beaten Kansas in the game before that and forced Texas Tech to extend to Lubbock on Feb. 27.
The most intriguing match early in the game: Kansas, No. 3 Dethroned, against Texas No. 6, Texas 6, Thursday, while the Longhorns found the scorer previously suspended, Kerwin Roach.
Touchpad: Five huge league coaches went to the Final Four. But the only one who cut the nets out there is Kansas's Bill Self.

Big East
Ranking Pomeroy League: Fifth of 32.
Best favorite: Villanova (22-9 13-5 in the league).
Prospects for NCAA tournaments: Villanova and Marquette are at the rendezvous. A combination of the bland assembly of second-tier teams (Creighton, Seton Hall, St. John's, Xavier, Georgetown) will also do so. The last level must win the tournament.
Sleeper: After playing for three months as a team that was missed by Chris Mack, Xavier has won six of his last seven games and has beaten all teams in the league except for Marquette.
Most intriguing game early in the game: A potential quarter-final between St. John's and Marquette. The Red Storm has somehow swept Marquette this year and may need an extra win to qualify at 68.
Boss of touch: It would be Jay Wright. No one else needs to apply.

Best favorite: Montana (23-8, 16-4 in the league).
Tournament Overview NCAA: Winner Only.
Sleeper: East Washington. After reaching a low of 310 in the Pomeroy Ratings in early February, the Eagles have won 60 places while winning nine of their last 13.

Big Ten
Pomeroy League Ranking: First out of 32.
Best favorite: Michigan State (25-6, 16-4 in the league).
Prospects for NCAA Tournaments: Michigan State, Purdue and Michigan are well positioned. Wisconsin, Maryland and Iowa are at the rendezvous, with more or less momentum. Minnesota, Indiana and the state of Ohio are on the bubble and hope nobody will notice the loss of their records. Everyone must win.
Sleeper: Indiana. The most controversial bubble team in the United States is also the bravest team of the Big Ten, having won four consecutive victories to dedicate an irrecoverable season to redemption. If the Hoosiers win their first game (see below), they have a chance to win the surprise hat trick against Michigan State.
Most intriguing match of the turn start: Indiana-Ohio State in a bubble battle at 8 against 9, losing-leaves-Bracketville.
Leader: John Beilein has done a great job in Michigan. Tom Izzo worked better at Michigan State and swept the regular season series between the two.

Big West
Ranking Pomeroy League: 23rd out of 32.
Best Favorite: UC Irvine (27-5, 15-1 in the league).
Tournament Overview NCAA: Winner Only.
Sleeper: Fifth-seeded Long Beach State is the only conference team to beat Irvine, and the 49ers have won a five-game winning streak.

USA Conference
Ranking Pomeroy League: 16th out of 32.
Best favorite: Old Dominion (23-8, 13-5 in the league).
Tournament Overview NCAA: Winner Only.
Sleeper: Marshall. Best offensive team in a league plagued by problems on this side of the field. The Thundering Herd caught fire last year to win the C-USA tournament, and they enter this one after five straight wins.

Best favorite: Harvard (17-10, 10-4 in the league).
Tournament Overview NCAA: Winner Only.

Mid-American
Ranking Pomeroy League: Ninth out of 32.
Best favorite: Buffalo (28-3, 16-2 in the league).
NCAA Tournament Outlook: Buffalo is a lock. Toledo has a weak chance in the final and plays well against the Bulls. Everyone must win the tournament.
Sleeper: At 25-6, Toledo is not really a sleeper. But it seems that there are really only two teams capable of winning this match, and the other is Buffalo.

Middle Eastern Athletics
Ranking of the Pomeroy League: 32nd out of 32.
Best favorite: Norfolk State (19-12, 14-2 in the league).
Tournament Overview NCAA: Winner Only.
Sleeper: Howard has won his last four games, crowned by the defeat against the road of the league champion, Norfolk State.

West Mountain
Ranking of the Pomeroy League: 10th out of 32.
Best favorite: Nevada (28-3, 15-3 in the league).
Prospects for NCAA tournaments: Nevada is here. The state of Utah also seems a certainty. Everyone needs to win.
Sleeper: Fresno State. If anyone is able to break the collision course between Nevada and Utah State, it's the Bulldogs, who have split a game in one point against Utah State and would shoot the Aggies in the semi-finals if both advance.

Pac-12
Ranking Pomeroy League: Seventh out of 32.
Best favorite: Washington (24-7, 15-3 in the league).
Prospects for NCAA tournaments: The Huskies were supposed to be comfortable, but three losses in the last eight and a shortage of quality wins raise questions. Arizona State, which ranks second, has quality gains, but also a series of terrible losses. Maybe Oregon could argue by making the final. Everyone must win.
Sleeper: Oregon. They looked like dead Ducks after Bol Bol was injured early, and a 6-8 start in a horrible league. But they have won their last four games, including a convincing win in Washington.
Intriguing round start match: none. But a Colorado-Washington semifinal would be interesting. The Buffaloes have won eight of their last 10 games.
Dashboard: Dana Altman of Oregon is, unfortunately, the only coach in the league to have participated in the final.

South East
Ranking of the Pomeroy League: Fourth out of 32.
Best favorite: LSU (26-5, 16-2 in the league).
Prospects for NCAA Tournaments: LSU is in place, unless the NCAA compliance situation worsens and for whatever reason, the Tigers do not participate in the Big Dance. Tennessee and Kentucky are in the game and are fighting for the potential of first sowing. Auburn and Mississippi State are in the interior, Mississippi is probably in, Florida and Alabama live on the edge. Everyone must win the tournament.
Sleeper: Bruce Pearl has an unprecedented tournament record, 9-10 SEC, but the stars have lined up to give it a shot this year. After an opening game against Missouri or Georgia, Auburn draws South Carolina (the worst-seeded power number 4 out of the five), then potentially a LSU team with no head coach and / or starter.
Intriguing round start match: A quarter-final between Florida and the LSU would be a no-surprise match between two teams who won in overtime on their home turf. And the Gators will be very motivated to get out of the bubble and into the range.
Fingerprint: Five coaches participated in the Final Four (Rick Barnes, Tom Crean, Ben Howland, Frank Martin and John Calipari), but only Cal won.
