Schedule for the 2009 Conference Tournaments and the Automatic Bid Winners

As you may or may not know, Championship Week starts tonight as the Big South, Ohio Valley, and Horizon leagues all begin their conference tournaments. Below you will find a schedule listing what conference tournaments will be played on what days, as well as a full breakdown of the automatic bid winners.

Be sure to check the daily lay-up lines for a full breakdown of the tournament games happening each and every night until Selection Sunday.

I am going to put a link to this post at the top of BIAH.
