Change the batteries in the remote. Stock up on non-nutritious foods. Work on that cough for when you call in sick.

It's Championship Week.

This year's edition is so good it lasts 11 days and features 81 men's and women's college basketball conference tournament games on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN Classic, ESPN360.com, ESPN Mobile TV and ESPN International. Oh yeah, Championship Week is the creation of ESPN.

And this year, in addition to the coverage of games that will decide some leagues' only representative in the NCAA tournament and others' fifth, sixth and maybe even seventh bids, ESPN will have a new studio analyst, Hall of Fame coach Bob Knight.

Championship Week began Thursday night with the Big South's men's semifinals and it will conclude March 16 with six men's and women's tournament championship games.
