Looks like the nescac is updated.

At Pat Coleman's suggestion, this is a new thread to discuss the conference tournaments for the 2019-2020 men's basketball seasons.

42 of the 43 AQs for the NCAA tournament are determined by conference tournament outcomes.  The University Athletic Association gives its AQ to the regular season champion with tiebreaker procedures if there are co-champions at the end of play on February 29, 2020.

Currently, Emory and Wash U are tied for first in the UAA, but Emory has the tiebreaker advantage for AQ by virtue of the 2-0 head-to-head sweep vs Wash U.

The trackers are being worked on, but NESCAC is up-- as stated by Pat Coleman:

My absolute favorite time of the year! Thanks for running this page again!

FYI: I know it takes a lot of work and I would be willing to help fill it out/work on it if you do need the help, and if that is even possible.

I would appreciate your help on this if you can do it.  Thanks.

As for the trackers, Pat Coleman has stated that they will be ready by the weekend

In two weeks, the regular season will be over. If teams want to still be playing in March, the time to get it done is now ... including conference tournaments, some of which start for some this week.

This week will also bring with it a better understanding of which teams are in position to be playing in the NCAA Tournaments.

Monday on Hoopsville, we will chat with several programs which have positioned themselves atop their conference races and hope home court will help them punch tickets to the NCAA tournaments. However, they also know the difference between playing at home or in the NCAAs could be a single game still to be played.

Guests Schedule (order subject to change):
- Charlie Averkamp, Benedictine women's coach
- Trent Milby, Berea women's coach
- Jake Ross, Springfield senior guard
- Dean Burrows, Wesley men's coach
- Bob Quillman & Ryan Scott, Top 25 Double-Take

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. You can watch Monday's show LIVE starting at 7:00 pm ET in the following ways:

The tracker already had the Capital Athletic Conference tourney info in the system this morning, so when I saw that it had the accurate info, I did not bother creating a post for it.
