Tournament predictions for Power-6 conferences | Locked on College Basketball

March Madness is officially here, and Locked on College Basketball predicts who will win each Power-6 Conference Tournament.

NEW YORK — It's officially March and already the madness has begun, with a handful of mid-major conference champions already crowned a few days before Selection Sunday and the beginning of the NCAA Tournament.

While smaller conferences wrap up their tournaments, the Power-6 conference (P5 and the Big East) tournaments are just getting underway.

Andy Patton and Isaac Schade of the Locked on College Basketball podcast previewed each of the six power conference tournaments, providing a prediction on the championship matchup, which team will win, who will win the tournament MVP - and a dark horse candidate to win each conference as well.

Below is a look at each of those predictions, starting with the ACC, as we inch closer and closer to bracket season and the full scope of the madness that is March.
