Conference tournament open thread: Big Ten, MAAC, Pac-12, WCC begin

Now we're really in the thick of things: a couple more power conferences will begin tournament play today while others will continue.

We'll re-post yesterday's information for conferences that have already started tournament play, but begin with those starting up anew (in alphabetical order).

And remember: be sure to give the SB Nation sites below a click. The overwhelming majority of school sites are in a much better position to cover their teams than we are so a few extra clicks during tournament time might plant a seed for next year.
