I like the conference tournaments as it gives teams like E.Tennessee State the chance to play into the tournament even though they were only 1 game worse then the leader. What I'd like to see "when" the tournament expands is for both the conference leader and tournament champion get an auto-bid. I figure that'll add about 14-15 small schools of the 32 additional teams. Yes, all the 7-9 Big East teams will get in now but by giving additional auto-bids out it should help avoid giving at-larges to the 5-11 Big East or ACC teams.
