In an ultracompetitive league where four teams finished tied for fourth place, third through eighth were separated by three games and no less than six teams had winning streaks of at least five games in conference play, it’s the team that went 0-9 on the road in conference play and finished ninth overall that is the tournament champion.
Three more bids go out, with a dramatic ending and one that could have led to an odd outcome. Plus a surprise in one semifinal win, and a few more regular season finales were mixed in with the tournaments.
With the way this season has played out from the first night, it’s no surprise whatsoever that it has taken just three days of conference tournaments to see complete destruction in some brackets.

Where has the 2015-16 season gone? The presence of a leap year day yesterday did nothing to convince us that the past four months have absolutely flown by. If anything, it only enhanced that feeling, as conference postseason honors started trickling in at the same time that we started checking out the brackets for the first conference tournaments that kick in starting…today?

We’re on the doorstep now-just one more day before the 2015-16 college basketball season officially commences. We continue our preseason peek at all 32 NCAA Division I conferences with six more today.
Army was on a nice rise with its core up until Patriot League play last season, when they came back to earth. Now with a core of seniors, can this team be the one that finally takes home a Patriot League title?
The Patriot League remains in a good place, as it had a highly-competitive race as expected and should see more of the same next season as well.
