Wednesday marks the start of a few college basketball tournaments, but also marks pivotal moments in the quarterfinals for others. There are even a few championship games thrown in as well.
While ten different conferences start their tournaments today, three -- the Big Sky, Patriot League, and Southland Conferences -- will play their championship games today.
