Only five more days until Selection Sunday, and the conference championships are going on. UNC-Willmington, Iona, and FGCU won their conferences and will be in the NCAA's this year. Several conferences will be decided tonight, including the West Coast Conference. St. Mary's will face the #4 national ranked team, Gonzaga for the West Coast. The most competitive nationally followed conferences will start later. The Big East, ACC, AAC, Atlantic 10, Big 10, SEC, and many more will start around March 8th. In fact, my cousin will be at Madison Square Garden for the Big East Tournament. Another Conference Championship in the headlines is the AAC Women's, which ended last night when UConn beat USF 100-44 in their 107th win in a row. They are the only Women's team to win the AAC Championship.

In the NBA, the Celtics lost to the Clippers 116-102 for their second straight loss. LeBron couldn't beat the Heat, as he and the Cavs lost 106-98. The Kawhi Leonard and the Spurs narrowly beat James Harden's Rockets 112-110, for their eighth straight win. The Timberwolves game against the Trailblazers was postponed due to the wet court, probably from sweat. The Warriors won again, beating the Hawks 119-111. This is a golden era for the NBA. It is very popular, has lots of superstars, thrilling finals, and super-teams like the Warriors and the Cavs. It looks like Warriors-Cavaliers III in June.
