This might come as a shock, but it’s already conference tournament time. Seriously. I know, the season went by way too fast. But here’s the good news: we’re about to get a ton of basketball thrown at us in a very short period of time. And with that, we’ll have daily bracket updates for you from now until the field is unveiled.

Why are we going to daily updates? Well, this field is going to be out-dated by around 2 p.m. after Purdue and Rutgers are finished with their second-round Big Ten Tournament game. As of now, Rutgers is clinging to a spot in the field and Purdue is in the Next Four Out. One of those teams will move pending the result of that game.

Isn’t this fun?
