WBB Big West Conference Tournament March 12-16 I wonder why the women have stayed with the byes in their tournament, and the men have gone away from it? i know the Big West like to tout the fact that we have had so many different teams represent in March Madness, but I would really like to see the conference winner get some type of benefit. Last year, we won it and were rewarded with a noon tip-off (on the road).
