UNC and Syracuse meet for the third time this year, this time on the sport's biggest stage. The old adage "it's hard to beat a good team 3 times" comes to mind, but with as well as the Tar Heels have played, can Syracuse make it a game? Or will the Heels block Syracuse's shocking run?

In the East final, UNC and Notre Dame meet for the third time this year out of the ACC. Will the Irish have a net-cutting Easter celebration? Or will the to-this-point dominant Heels achieve what most thought they would all the way back when last season ended?

With the top 4 teams through to the semis, it's pretty much time to flip a coin - anyone can win, and all of them would be a threat to a 3- or 4-seed in a week. 

Without the clear best team (in my opinion) SMU in the field, this tournament is a beautiful cluster-fudge of desperate bubble teams. I'm morbidly excited to see who flames out when they need wins most. 

Let's be clear - my preseason preview of this conference was a disaster. But hey, since I can admit that, maybe my tournament preview will go slightly better!

Two dominant teams ruled the regular season, but can the mid-tier teams strike back at Madison Square Garden?

With as balanced as the Pac 12 has been this season, this tournament should be a toss-up. Oh, and I think there was one person on the internet who had Oregon to win the conference...

Who will prevail - the best player (Kay Felder) or the best team (Valpo)? Can Milwaukee, Green Bay, or Wright St. go on a wild 4-games-in-4-days run?

This feels like an inevitable rubber match between the Gaels and the Zags, but can BYU or Pepperdine cause some ruckus?

One of my favorite small conferences, the SoCon seems a little more open now than it did 2-3 weeks ago. Can anyone unseat Chattanooga?

Will Monmouth win the tournament, or will they be in the thick of the bubble discussion?

Will North Florida make a repeat appearance in the NCAA Tournament? Or will NJIT make its tournament debut during its inaugural Sun Belt season?
