Guru Report: Wednesday Schedule -- March 9

By Mel Greenberg

Here's a shorter schedule broken off the main conference tracker post that is listed just under this for Wednesday'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, Thursday games are listed in advance of Wednesday known results but any Thursday action in tourneys hadn't started yet won't be in this post. The complete list is now in the main tracking post. There are some small exceptions to the general rule to make this a shorter list.

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