NCAAB Conference Tournament Predictions

Conference Tournament Predictions
(rankings reflect seeding in conference tournaments)

-Atlantic Coast Conference-
Championship Game: (7)Virginia Tech over (2)North Carolina
Virginia Tech would have to pull the upset over (2)Duke just to get to this game but i can see it happening as the Hokies fight to get a spot in the NCAA tournament.

-Big 12 Conference-
Championship Game: (1)Kansas over (2)Texas
I see Kansas coasting through this tournament to find itself in the tournament championship, where the Morris brothers lift them to a tournament title and #1 seed in the big dance.

-Big East Conference-

Championship Game: (9)Connecticut over (2)Notre Dame
Uconn's Kemba Walker leads his team to the title game and comes up clutch against Big East player of the year Ben Hansborough and the Notre Dame Irish

-Big Ten Conference-
Championship Game: (4)Michigan over (2)Purdue
Michigan seems to be playing very well at the moment and if they can get past rival Ohio State, a conference tournament title is very possible.

-Mountain West Conference-
Championship Game: (2)SDSU over (5)New Mexico
New Mexico will have to get through tough Colorado State and probably BYU, a top 10 team, but they're playing at a high level at the most important time. If SDSU can't get past UNLV, then watch out for the runnin rebels playing on their home court.

-Pac 10 Conference-
Championship Game: (5)USC over (6)Washington St
These are two teams that are currently on the outside looking in when it comes to getting to the NCAA tournament. Just getting this far may help them get in, but they would much rather grab the automatic bid by winning the conference tournament.

-SEC Conference-
Championship Game: (1)Florida over (2)Kentucky

This conference just doesn't put the same level of competition on the court as it does on the football field but i see a good Florida team winning the tournament.
