NCAA Tournament Autobids: Tracking Every 2020 Conference Championship
Conference tournament time is here at last, and there are 32 automatic bids to the 2020 NCAA tournament to be given out.

Who will earn one of those coveted autobids in 2020? Tournaments kicked off this week, and the first two champions were bestowed on Saturday, March 7, including Utah State's thrilling upset of San Diego State.
