On Tuesday March 5th, the Conference Tourneys officially begin. This marks the beginning of dreams being realized, and also dreams being dashed. Check in daily for new updates on who is out of the hunt for the title, and who can still say they have a chance to hoist the trophy. Each night I'll add the teams that have reached dead, lock, auto, or zombie status. So this will be the last time you see these schools below. There are 347 teams in Division I this year. Below are the teams that are "dead", they have no chance. There is a total of 43 of these schools, which leaves 304 still in it. This list below will grow rapidly each day until Selection Sunday on March 17. Is your team below? If so, umm, find another team.
