This season, with more teams (than we can recall in recent memory) standing as viable contenders, the difference between a No. 1 and a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament is significant. And the fight to earn a top-four seed (getting to host the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament) is as tight as ever. Consequential games will be played across the country this weekend, with every result adding to their final résumés for the selection committee.
With so many important games happening across multiple conferences, consider this your viewing guide for both how to watch and for whom to watch out.
