Selection Sunday has arrived, however here are still a handful of automatic bids to be handed out before the brackets are finalized.
Parity has been the standard all season, and that has been borne out during gathering tournaments, with an endless series of favored picks falling by the wayside. Sunday’s five meeting championship games feature exactly zero No. 1 seeds, and just Illinois (Huge Ten) and Yale (Ivy) are as high as No. 2 in the seeding.
That run of upsets indicates the NCAA Tournament really will be anyone’s to win, however we still have a couple of more bids to hand out before we arrive.
Play begins around early afternoon with the Elite level final and heads to the traditional wrap-up in the Enormous Ten, which leads solidly into the selection show. Here is all that you really want to be aware of today’s schedule, including hint times and TV and streaming options.
