Guru Report II: Conference Sunday March 13 Conference Skeds

By Mel Greenberg

Five conferences will wrap up the automatic bids Sunday. Here is the schedule. The most compelling is the 1 p.m. -- Did you set your clocks ahead? -- game on Comcast for the Colonial Athletic Association title between top seed James Madison (25-7) and seventh-seeded Delaware (20-11) whose Elena Delle Donne will play for her first basketball championship since her high school senior year back in 2008.

NCAA Committee eyes will also be on the Horizon where No. 13 Wisconsin-Green Bay (31-1), the top seed and heavy favorite will be at home against second-seeded Butler (20-12) seeking to avoid the fate of some other conference No. 1 seeds from one-bid perceived leagues.

The complete conference tracker report is in the post below this one.

The other three titles will be decided on Sunday in the Big South, Missouri Valley and Northeast Conferences. Here's the slate:
