Things to Look for During Selection Show:

The Selection Show airs at 6:00PM on CBS. Here is what we'll be looking for:


  • Which mid major bubble teams will be in the field and which will be left out? BYU, Colorado St., Boise St., Old Dominion, Murray St., and Iona will all be biting their nails when the brackets are announced. Who gets in and who goes to the NIT?
  • Matchups. The NCAA Tournament is all about matchups. Which mid majors are going to get favorable draws that could give them a chance to make a run to the Sweet 16 or beyond? We have talked before about teams we like (Valparaiso, Stephen F. Austin, Wofford), but a lot of times the best upsets come from teams who can match up with their opponents the best.
  • Where will the shocker come from? There seems to always be at least one team who shocks everyone. Florida Gulf Coast and Mercer are two recent examples. Where will the shocking upset come from this year?
