The conference tournaments are just awesome and I love watching the NIT and the NCAA tournaments. Penn State plays Northwestern tomorrow at noon and if they win, they are most likely advancing to the NIT tournament and possibly a home game. They'd have to win the Big Ten tournament to go to the NCAA, but I can always dream. lol.
I think that the Big East and the Big Ten will have the best tournaments. They are clearly the best 2 conferences in the country and will probably have the best games. Plus, the Big Ten is so even that any team can win.
I'd watch out for the #10 seed, Minnesot in the Big Ten. They can play with the best when they get hot, but I fear that they are back on a cold streak after losing their last 3 or 4 games including one to Northwestern. Penn State can also be dangerous because they knocked of Illinois at Illinois(only team to do it all year) and Indiana at home. They also only lost to Indiana on the road by 3.

I'm sorry man, but after the orange bowl in football I will have to root against PSU in the Big Ten tourney. I will instead root for the huge underdog in the tourney of NW. I think they would be lucky to stay with in 15 points of PSU which is sad because they arn't really a basketball school either, but NW blows.
My picks for the big conferences go as follows.
ACC - DUKE
Big Ten - ILL
Big East - U CONN
Conference USA - Memphis
Big Twelve - Texas
SEC - Alabama
