NCAA Championship Week Preview

Selection Sunday is less than two weeks away. Between now and then, there is Championship Week. Almost every team in Division I has a chance to make the NCAA tournament. 4-23 Louisiana Tech has a chance. 5-25 Loyola Marymount has a chance. 6-22 Colorado State has a chance.

Odds are none of those teams will actually run their conference tournaments to capture an auto bid. But of every major sport, none but college basketball begins its postseason with so many teams alive. Every single kid on every single team heading into a conference tournament is dreaming of making the big dance. Once the ball tips on Championship Week, these kids won't be playing for stats or personal glory. They'll be playing — killing themselves — for that dream. For shear drama and emotion, no other sport can touch the annual madness of college basketball in March.

You all know the favorites. You know the bubble scenarios, the RPI, and strength of schedule. So instead of recapping what you already know, I present to you this service: the second annual Sports Central Guide to Championship Week, a full conference-by-conference breakdown of dates and formats, with a daily calendar of events and links to each conference tournament bracket (or tournament site if the bracket isn't available).

Ladies and gentlemen, everything you need to know for 13 of the greatest days of the year:

AMERICA EAST (March 7-15)

Format: All 9 teams in; 8-9 teams in play-in game; Play-in through semis at Binghamton; Finals at campus site of highest remaining seed.

Favorite: Maryland Baltimore-County (21-8 overall, 13-3 in conference)

Sleeper: Vermont (15-14, 9-7)

Player to watch: Vermont F Marqus Blakely has scored in double figures every game this season and has a double-double in 11 of his last 12 games. He leads the conference in scoring (19.4), rebounding (11.0), and blocks (2.6); also averages 2 steals per game and hits 55 percent of his shots.

Bracket

ATLANTIC 10 (March 12-15)

Format: Top 12 teams in; 1-4 seeds get bye into Quarters; in Atlantic City

Favorite: Xavier (25-4, 13-1)

Sleeper: Massachusetts (19-9, 8-6)

Player to watch: St. Joseph's senior swingman Pat Calathes averages 18 points and 7.7 rebounds per game, hitting better than 42 percent of his three-point attempts. In back-to-back home losses to St. Louis and Temple (which killed any shot at an at-large), Calathes hit only 6-of-30 shot attempts. If the Hawks are going to make a run, it's going to be because Calathes breaks out.

Bracket

ACC (March 13-16)

Format: All 12 teams in; 1-4 seeds bye into Quarters; in Charlotte

Favorite: Duke (25-3, 12-2) / North Carolina (27-2, 12-2)

Sleeper: Clemson (21-7, 9-5)

Player to watch: North Carolina PG Ty Lawson missed six games with a sprained ankle. Though the Heels went 5-1 in those six (losing to Duke at home), the Carolina offense is much better with him on the court. Lawson played 21 minutes in the win over BC on Saturday, hitting 1-of-5 shots and two free throws or four points to go along with five assists. He's going to need to get back to his old form if they expect to win the ACC championship.

Tournament Site

ATLANTIC SUN (March 5-8)

Format: Eight of 12 teams in (Kennesaw State, North Florida, USC Upstate and Florida Gulf Coast ineligible during NCAA Reclassifying Period); straight bracket with no byes; at Lipscomb

Favorite: Belmont (22-8, 14-2)

Sleeper: Gardner-Webb (15-15, 9-7)

Player to watch: Gardner-Webb senior forward Thomas Sanders put up double-doubles in seven straight games and nine of his last 10. And it's not just against the A-Sun. Sanders put up 21 and 10 in the early-season win at Kentucky and put up double-doubles in both of the Runnin' Bulldogs' games against Connecticut.

Bracket

BIG 12 (March 13-16)

Format: All 12 teams in; 1-4 seeds get bye into Quarters; in Kansas City

Favorite: Texas (24-5, 11-3) / Kansas (26-3, 11-3)

Sleeper: Kansas State (18-10, 8-6)

Player to watch: Texas PG D.J. Augustin (19.7 ppg, 5.8 apg, 39 minutes or more in eight of their past 10) is the key to the Longhorns' title hopes. Texas is at its best when he's setting up everybody else. When he's forced into just being a scorer (season-high 30 points, but just three assists to six turnovers in the loss to Texas Tech on Saturday), Texas can be beat.

Bracket

BIG EAST (March 12-15)

Format: Twelve of 16 teams in; 1-4 seeds get bye into Quarters; at Madison Square Garden

Favorite: Georgetown (24-4, 14-3) / Louisville (24-6, 14-3)

Sleeper: Notre Dame (22-6, 12-4)

Player to watch: Irish forward Luke Harangody's numbers (21 ppg, 10 rpg) speak for themselves. But it's Notre Dame PG Tory Jackson who's the key. The games where he has been bad (1-of-7 with 5 assists and 5 turnovers in their recent loss to Louisville), the Irish have been very beatable. Jackson doesn't necessarily have to score, but he has to keep the assists up and turnovers down for the Irish to make a serious run.

Bracket

BIG SKY (March 8-12)

Format: Six of nine teams in; 1/2 seeds protected to Semis; Quarters at campus sites of higher seeds; Semis and final at the Rose Garden in Portland

Favorite: Portland State (20-9, 13-2)

Sleeper: Northern Arizona (20-10, 11-5)

Player to watch: Portland State junior G Jeremiah Dominguez has hit more threes than any other Big Sky player this year, shooting at over 44%. In his last two games, road wins over Montana State and Montana, Dominguez made 17-of-23 shots (11-of-14 from three) for a cool 50 points. Also, he's listed at 5-foot-6 and 150 pounds.

Bracket

BIG SOUTH (March 4-8)

Format: All eight teams in; straight bracket with no byes; Quarters at campus sites of highest seed; Semis at UNC-Ashville; Final at campus site of highest seed

Favorite: UNC-Asheville (21-8, 10-4)

Sleeper: Winthrop (19-11, 10-4)

Player to watch: High Point forward Arizona (AZ) Reid was named the Big South Player of the Year for the second straight year after averaging 24.2 points and 11.1 rebounds this season. He averaged 23.9 points and 11.9 rebounds in Conference action and ranks in the top 10 nationally in points per game and rebounds. He was an honorable mention Associated Press All-American last year, is the Big South's all-time leading rebounder and surpassed 2,000 career points.

Bracket

BIG TEN (March 13-16)

Format: All 11 teams in; top five seeds have byes into quarters; in Indianapolis

Favorite: Wisconsin (24-4, 14-2) / Purdue (23-6, 14-2)

Sleeper: Minnesota (18-10, 8-8) (Tubby's boys can play)

Player to watch: For Michigan State to make a run, senior G Drew Neitzel has to be great. The kid has Gerry McNamara magic in him, but his senior year has largely been a disappointment. He was held to three points in a loss to Wisconsin last week and six points in a loss at Purdue earlier in February. Considering he's not exactly an assist machine (only gone over 5 seven times all season), Neitzel has to score. If not, the Spartans are going home early.

Bracket

BIG WEST (March 12-15)

Format: All eight teams in; reseeding after every round; 3/4 seeds get bye to quarters; 1/2 seeds get bye to semis; in Anaheim

Favorite: Cal-State Northridge (19-8, 11-3)

Sleeper: Pacific (20-9, 10-5)

Player to watch: Call State Fullerton G Josh Akognon averages 19.8 points per game with 13 contests at 20 or more (including four of 30 or more). Akognon spent his first two years at Washington State under Dick Bennet, leading the team in scoring his sophomore year before transferring because he couldn't handle Dick Bennett's system. (Turns out he wouldn't have had to since Dick Bennett retired and Washington State had a great season while Akognon was sitting out the season at Fullerton). In any event, the dude can score. And he's going to be gunning in this tournament in an attempt to make a name.

Tournament Site

COLONIAL (March 7-10)

Format: All 12 teams in; 1-4 seeds get byes into Quarters; at Richmond

Favorite: VCU (23-6, 15-3)

Sleeper: George Mason (20-10, 12-6)

Player to watch: VCU junior guard Eric Maynor gets all the publicity, and rightfully so. But the Rams don't enter the postseason as the number one seed without the breakout season by Jamal Shuler. The senior guard went from a support role, playing 20 minutes per game last season, to playing over 32 minutes per game this year. He's second on the team in scoring at 15.6 and actually shoots a slightly higher rate from three than does Maynor (.412 to .407 while taking nearly 60 more attempts). You can win a few games with just one guy carrying the load. But to win a tournament, you got to have two.

Bracket

CONFERENCE USA (March 12-15)

Format: All 12 teams in; 1-4 seeds get bye into quarters; at Memphis

Favorite: Memphis (28-1, 14-0)

Sleeper: UAB (21-8, 11-3)

Player to watch: I'm actually going with the trifecta with UAB's Robert Vaden, Houston's Rob McKiver, and UTEP's Stefon Jackson. Jackson leads the conference in scoring at 24.3, followed by McKiver at 23.1, and Vaden at 22.0. Each leads their respective team in minutes played. They have hoisted up a combined 1,383 shots. Memphis is still most likely going to win the auto bid, and that might be in for Conference USA yet again (depending how far UAB makes it). But with Jackson, Vaden, and McKiver around, you can guarantee there's going to be some high-quality action.

Tournament Site

HORIZON (March 4-11)

Format: All 10 teams in; 1/2 seeds (Butler No. 1, Cleveland state No. 2) protected into semis; first round at campus sites of highest seeds; Quarters and semis at Butler; Final at highest remaining seed

Favorite: Butler (27-3, 16-2)

Sleeper: Wright State (20-9, 12-6)

Player to watch: Butler senior guard Mike Green is the heart of this team. He came within one assist of a triple double against Detroit on Saturday (11 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists) and is averaging a very Jason Kidd-esque 15 points, 6 boards, and 5 assists per game (maybe Kidd-esque is a bit strong — let's just say he's well-rounded). He's not really the best at anything, but he's pretty good at everything. And if Butler is going to run through the Horizon and attempt to equal (or surpass) last year's Sweet 16 run, Green is going to have to lead the way.

Bracket

IVY

No conference tournament; Cornell won the auto bid.

METRO ATLANTIC (March 7-10)

Format: All 10 teams in; 7-10 seeds play in first round; at Siena

Favorite: Siena (19-10, 13-5)

Sleeper: Niagara (19-9, 12-6)

Player to watch: Niagara swingman Charron Fisher averages 27.4 points and 9.3 rebounds per game. I'd say he's worth watching.

Bracket

MAC (March 12-15)

Format: All 12 teams in; 1-4 seeds get bye into quarters; in Cleveland

Favorite: Kent State (23-6, 11-3)

Sleeper: Western Michigan (18-10, 11-3)

Player to watch: Ohio senior forward Leon Williams is the only guy in the entire conference to average a double-double with 15.5 points and 10 rebounds per game. He hit more than 59% of his shots and nearly 75 percent of his 200 free throws (second most in the conference).

Tournament Site

MEAC (March 11-15)

Format: All 11 teams in; 6-11 seeds play in first round; at Raleigh, NC

Favorite: Morgan State (19-9, 13-2)

Sleeper: Coppin State (12-19, 7-8) (Lost 11 in a row and 17 of 18 before embarking on their current eight-game winning streak. Talk about mental toughness.)

Player to watch: Delaware State senior guard Roy Bright averaged 19.1 points per game, second in the conference. More impressive was some of the numbers he put up against non-conference opponents Arkansas (28), USC (22), California (25), and Seton Hall (24). Granted, he went a combined 2-for-22 in blowout losses to Arizona State and Xavier, but he showed in those other games that he can score on top-level talent.

Bracket

MISSOURI VALLEY (March 6-9)

Format: All 10 teams in; 7-10 seeds play in first round; at St. Louis

Favorite: Drake (25-4, 15-3)

Sleeper: Creighton (20-9, 10-8)

Player to watch: All you need to know about Illinois State sophomore guard Osiris Eldridge is that he just put up 27 at Southern Illinois. The entire team only scored 57 (Eldridge took 20 of the Redbirds' total 40 shot attempts). Fans of the Valley know just how crazy it is for somebody to hang that kind of number on the Salukis at SIU Arena.

Bracket

MOUNTAIN WEST (March 12-15)

Format: All nine teams in; 8-9 teams in play-in game; at UNLV

Favorite: BYU (23-6, 12-2)

Sleeper: New Mexico (22-7, 9-5)

Player to watch: For as long as people have been talking about New Mexico senior guard J.R. Giddens, he has yet to come close to living up to the hype. Heading into his last chance for glory (unless you count going 1-for-7 as No. 3 Kansas got upset by No. 13 Bucknell in his last game as a Jayhawk in 2005), Giddens has scored in double figures in eight straight, including 36 against Wyoming and 30 against BYU. If the Lobos are going anywhere Steve Alford's first year, they're getting there on Giddens' back.

Bracket

NORTHEAST (March 6-12)

Format: Eight of 11 teams in; no byes; Quarters at campus sites of highest seed; teams reseeded after quarters; Semis and final at campus sites of highest seed

Favorite: Robert Morris (25-6, 16-2)

Sleeper: Wagner (22-7, 15-3)

Player to watch: If you're looking for somebody to fill up the stat sheet, Wagner senior guard Mark Porter is your man. In 37.2 minutes per game (second in the NEC), he averages 16.2 points (fifth), 4.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists (third), 4.1 turnovers (tied for second most) and 1.9 steals per game (fifth). Hell, he's even seventh in the conference at blocked shots at 0.9 per game.

Bracket

OHIO VALLEY (March 4-8)

Format: Eight of 11 in; straight bracket with no byes; Quarters at sites of higher seeds; Semis and final in Nashville

Favorite: Austin Peay (21-10, 16-4)

Sleeper: Tennessee State (13-16, 10-10)

Player to watch: Tennessee State junior guard Bruce Price has only been held to single digits scoring once all year. His season high? 34 — at Indiana.

Bracket

PAC-10 (March 12-15)

Format: All 10 teams in; 7-10 seeds play in first round; in Los Angeles

Favorite: UCLA (26-3, 14-2)

Sleeper: Arizona State (18-10, 8-8)

Player to watch: Arizona's record with both Jerryd Bayless and Nic Wise: 14-3. Arizona's record when either Bayless or Wise is out: 3-8. Wise has missed the past seven after suffering a knee injury. Word is he's due back for the Pac-10 tournament, if not this weekend's games against the Oregon schools. Since he's gone out, the Cats won at Washington state and almost beat Stanford (lost by one) and UCLA (by two). With a healthy Wise, who knows what could have happened. (It also would have helped if they hadn't been robbed by the officiating in the Stanford game, but I digress.)

Tournament Site

PATRIOT (March 5-14)

Format: All eight teams in; straight bracket with no byes; all rounds at highest seed

Favorite: American (18-11, 10-4)

Sleeper: Navy (16-5, 9-5)

Player to watch: When you're talking about the Patriot, you go to the best player on the best team. In this case, it's American junior guard Garrison Carr, averaging 18.1 ppg with an impressive 45% from three (extra impressive because he's shot 262 of them).

Bracket

SEC (March 13-16)

Format: All 12 teams in; top two seeds from each division have bye to quarters; in Atlanta

Favorite: Tennessee (26-3, 12-2)

Sleeper: Arkansas (19-9, 8-6)

Player to watch: Mississippi State junior Jamont Gordon averages 17.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game. With Gordon leading the way, the Bulldogs could very well crash the Tennessee/Vanderbilt party.

Note: I was set to pick Kentucky as my sleeper and Patrick Patterson as the guy to watch, but with Patterson out for the rest of the year, there's just not enough left for Billy Gillespie to make the miracle run.

Bracket

SOUTHERN (March 7-10)

Format: All 11 teams in; seeds 6-11 play in first round; at Charleston, SC

Favorite: Davidson (23-6, 20-0)

Sleeper: Appalachian State (18-12, 13-7)

Player to watch: You can't go with anybody but Davidson scoring machine Stephen Curry. Simply put, the sophomore with nearly 1500 points in less than two full seasons is one of the best shooters in the country. He averages 25.3 points per game on 48% from the floor, 44% from three and 89% from the free-throw line. And if that wasn't enough, he's a pretty good rebounder (4.8 per game) for 6-foot-flat and 180 pounds.

Bracket

SOUTHLAND (March 13-16)

Format: Eight of 12 teams in; straight bracket with no byes; in Katy, Texas

Favorite: Lamar (18-9, 12-2)

Sleeper: Stephen F. Austin (23-4, 11-3)

Player to watch: Stephen F. Austin junior forward Josh Alexander leads the team in scoring at 16.5 ppg and rebounding at 5.8. Perhaps even more impressive is he hasn't committed a single turnover in the last three games while playing a combined 110 minutes, including all 40 in a Feb. 27 win over Texas State.

Bracket

SOUTHWESTERN (March 12-15)

Format: Eight of 10 teams in; straight bracket with no byes; in Birmingham

Favorite: Alabama State (17-9, 13-3)

Sleeper: Jackson State (12-17, 10-6)

Player to watch: He's only scored in double-digits 10 times with just one double-double all year (not great for a 7-1, 265 lb. center), but you can't ignore a dude named Chief Kickingstallionsims. He's got "Sports Central mandatory puff piece about a 16 seed" written all over him.

Tournament Site

SUMMIT (March 8-11)

Format: Top eight teams in (South Dakota State and North Dakota State are ineligible); straight bracket with no byes

Favorite: Oral Roberts (21-8, 16-2)

Sleeper: IUPUI (24-6, 15-3) (I love this team)

Player to watch: Remember the name George Hill. The junior guard from IUPUI is averaging 21.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game. He's scored 30 or more six times and broken double digits in rebounding eight times. In a win over Massachusetts in December, he put up 30 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists. If the Jaguars can find their way in the tournament, they are a fantastic candidate to pull an out-of-nowhere upset.

Bracket

SUN BELT (March 5-11)

Format: All 13 teams in; seeds 1-3 have byes into quarters; First round at campus sites of highest seed; Quarters through final at South Alabama

Favorite: South Alabama (25-5, 16-2) / Western Kentucky (24-6, 16-2)

Sleeper: North Texas (19-10, 10-8)

Player to watch: Western Kentucky senior swingman Courtney Lee is getting pub as an NBA prospect (No. 24 on Chad Ford's Top 100). He put up 21 on Gonzaga, 22 on Michigan, 23 on Tennessee, and 30 on Southern Illinois. He can also rebound (4.5 per game) and play some stifling defense (1.8 steals per game).

Tournament Site

WEST COAST (March 7-10)

Format: All eight teams in; 3/4 seeds get byes into Quarters; 1/2 seeds get byes into Semis; at San Diego

Favorite: Gonzaga (24-6, 13-1)

Sleeper: Saint Mary's (25-5, 12-2)

Player to watch: St. Mary's freshman guard Pat Mills burst on the scene early, becoming a pseudo-household name thanks to a 37-point explosion against Oregon that made everybody sit up and take notice. But as is often the case with freshmen, especially freshmen carrying their team on their back, Mills has hit somewhat of a wall. He was held to just 5 points on 2-of-11 shooting against Kent State and followed that with just two points against San Diego. If the Gaels are going to recapture some of that early-season magic, Mills is going to have to get his legs back underneath him and get back to scoring.

Bracket

WESTERN ATHLETIC (March 11-15)

Format: All nine teams in; 8-9 teams in play-in game; at New Mexico State

Favorite: Boise State (22-7, 12-3)

Sleeper: Utah State (21-9, 10-4)

Player to watch: As profuse as I was about Stephen Curry, you have to be equally impressed with Utah State guard Jaycee Carroll, who might just be the best shooter in America. Carroll averages 22.7 points per game while shooting 53% from the floor, 50.5% from three, and 92% from the free-throw line. And, like Curry, he's a great rebounding guard at 6.1 per game.
