With about five weeks left before we tip off March Madness, it's never to early to start looking at matchups, teams, etc. We all love that March Madness time of the year, but the tournament can make or break a bankroll for your CBB season. One thing i always liked to do is take an early look at the projected matchups.
Here's an early look (via) ESPN

Looking at the low profile team in depth.This is one thing i failed to do when i first started handicapping games. As the years moved along, i quickly understood just how important it was to look at all the teams as March Madness approached.
Here is a quick look at some of those teams.
16SACRAMENTO ST / 16TEXAS SOUTHERN / 12WOFFORD
12YALE / 13AKRON / 15GEORGIA SOUTHERN / 13Murray St
16COLGATE / 16NORTH FLORID / 15HIGH POINT
16ALBANY / 12IONA / 13STEPHEN F. AUSTIN / 12IONA
15SOUTH DAKOTA ST / 16St. Francis (NY) / 13WILLIAM & MARY
14VALPARAISO / 15NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL
**These are the teams that play in smaller conferences we often don't get to see play on TV. I think starting to watch these teams now is very important. Take a good look at these teams and the conferences and who is in the mix in those conferences. Try to watch these teams as much as you can. Some of these teams will be playing the teams listed in the ESPN bracket above. Now is the time to start watching and handicapping these teams and getting a good feel if you haven't done so yet.
I have not seen North Florida play all year. For myself i will make sure i watch them play a few games over the next few weeks and keep a close eye on that team in specific. We all love to wager on March Madness. Taking action now can and will help you come tournament time.
**There are countless ways to watch these teams. Stream them online, click on the teams homepage and look for a live link. It's tough to not find a live game on any night these teams play using the internet.
