Arch Madness Starts Today

Starting tonight and lasting through this weekend, Arch Madness, the Missouri Valley Basketball Championship will take place in St. Louis at the Scottrade Center.

Of significance, the winner of "Arch Madness" gets an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament.

In my opinion, Arch Madness is among the best conference tournaments in college basketball and this year's tournament should be interesting to watch. While the MVC doesn't have a dominant team like Northern Iowa last year, the conference is very competitive. This is the year a team like Bradley, who struggled during the first half of the season, can definitely make noise during Arch Madness.

Tonight is the opening round and which features the 7/10 and 8/9 match ups, followed by the quarterfinals tomorrow and Saturday's semi-finals.

The games except for the final can be found on Fox Sports, Sunday's final will air at 1:05 Central on CBS.
