Editor's note: The 2020 NCAA tournament was canceled on March 12 amid concerns regarding the spread of coronavirus. These picks were made before each conference tournament tipped off.

Thirty-two NCAA Division I men's basketball conferences will crown champions over a nine-day stretch that begins with the Mountain West and Ohio Valley Conference tournaments on Saturday and comes to an end with the Big Ten final in Indianapolis on Sunday, March 15. (note: The Ivy League announced on March 10 that it was canceling the Ivy League tournament due to concerns over coronavirus, and many conferences canceled their postseason tournaments on Thursday, March 12.)

Who will earn the automatic bid in each conference? ESPN.com's team of college basketball experts issued their picks below, with leagues listed in the order that tickets will be punched.
