I'm not a huge fan of conference tournaments in the bigger leagues. In the Big East in particular, it seems that teams that know they are in the tournament play their "B" games instead of their "A" games, let a loss happen, and take a few more days' rest. Or maybe they go to study. Point is, there are some teams that take the tournament seriously... and others seem to not.

Two previews from a high level, and decently stats-oriented/ evidence-based as well:
