By Mel Greenberg

We're getting near the end. The NCAA meetings are already under way as we post the agenda for the final two days of conference competiton on Saturday and Sunday.

Here's a shorter schedule broken off the main conference tracker post that is listed just under this for Saturday and Sunday's games.

S before a team with a numeral is the seed number while R is the AP ranking if a team has one. The next AP ranking numbers will be inserted after Monday's poll is released but at that point we'll be into NCAA bracket schedule. This file being updated daily for results, records of teams advancing,

It will also include next day or next round schedule so you see the advancement path. Thus, Sunday games are listed in advance of Saturday's known results. The complete list is now in the main tracking post.

For now, here's the schedule. TV in whatever form is also designated, when known, with each tournament.
