Looks like the Big Ten will be the week prior.

This puts the Big Ten in the same conversation as the Missouri Valley.

The one potential drawback for the Big Ten is the timing of the tournament. It could create an awkward issue for Big Ten teams, as there will be an 11-day gap between the final Big Ten Tournament game and the start of the NCAA tournament.

Interesting dynamic. Would it help or hurt?

Hurt, both in terms of preparedness (rusty) and if you're on the bubble (recency bias).

I'm glad the Big East doesn't have a new conference member affecting the schedule like this (Rutgers).

Unless we add St. Louis and then move then tournament to STL. Then it's goodnight everybody!
