Best Dunks from the National Championship

March Madness is upon us. While 36 of the 68 teams that will make the tournament field are in the hands of the committee, 32 will learn their fates by clinching an automatic bid in the conference tournaments.

Beginning with the Atlantic Sun Conference on Monday, at least one new conference tournament starts every day from Monday, Feb. 26 to Thursday, March 8. Conference tournament action will conclude on Sunday, March. 11, better known as Selection Sunday.

Here is the complete list of 2018 conference tournaments. We'll update this list through Selection Sunday as each team earns its automatic bid to the Big Dance.
