    Selection Sunday Thread

    I know we are still 5 days out but I wanted to go ahead and get a thread up. The committee will actually rank all the teams 1-68 this year that are in the tournament. You will be able to see where they ranked everyone on Tru TV at 7:00 pm ET on Sunday evening.

    College Basketball Highlights
    Conference Championship Central
    INDIANAPOLIS— In the NCAA’s continuing efforts to increase understanding of its processes, the Division I Men’s Basketball Committee will unveil the 68 team seed list for the first time.
    Basketball Committee chair Jeff Hathaway and vice chair Mike Bobinski will appear on the Infiniti NCAA Hardcore Brackets show, which will air Selection Sunday at 7 p.m. EST on truTV.

    The 2012 Division I Men’s Basketball Championship will be revealed on the traditional NCAA Selection Show at 6 p.m. EST on CBS and will feature Hathaway, Jim Nantz, Clark Kellogg and Steve Kerr from Banker’s Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. They will be joined by Greg Gumbel, Greg Anthony and Seth Davis, who will be in the CBS Broadcast Center in New York.
    What will take place after the Selection Show is unprecedented.
    The Hardcore Brackets show will feature Hathaway, a consultant for the Big East Conference, and Bobinski, the director of athletics at Xavier University and next season’s chair of the men’s basketball committee, speaking with Gumbel, Anthony, Davis, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith.
    On the one-hour show, the committee members will discuss “inside the room” details never previously shared, including unveiling the overall seed list that features every tournament team ranked Nos. 1 through 68. Reasons behind teams’ movement on the seed list will be examined, and the committee members will discuss the pros and cons for teams that were, or were not, selected to receive at-large bids to the championship.
    “This is a new day that has been years in the making,” said Hathaway, who is in his fifth and final year as a member of the committee. “We continue to add initiatives to increase understanding of the committee’s work during selection weekend. We want to explain why teams were selected and seeded as reflected in the bracket and elaborate on the procedures and real-life road blocks that arise during the course of the bracketing process.”
    The show furthers NCAA championships’ other recent efforts to increase understanding of the selection seeding and bracketing processes, including:
    • This week’s Super 10 Fan Selection Committee
    • This year’s weekly, public release of team sheets and “nitty gritty reports” on Division I teams
    • The media mock selection sessions, now in their sixth year.
    The initiative will ultimately incorporate all 89 NCAA championships throughout the year.

    I hope the mid-majors get the majority of the bubble spots. Some of the major conference teams on the bubble are borderline garbage.

      I hope Iona gets in.

      Scott Machado is a beast.

        I wish we could see Iona but it will probably be the NIT that we are watching them in. It would have been fun watching Machado, Jones, and Glover pull off an upset or two.

              I expect Virginia's name to be called this evening, but I also won't be surprised if that doesn't happen given how we've closed the season.

                  So we have the pleasure of hearing his vast knowledge from watching about 3 college games this year.

                    Re: Selection Sunday Thread

                    Number one seeds:

                    Kentucky (#1 overall seed)
                    Syracuse
                    North Carolina
                    Michigan State

                    No surprises, I don't think.

                      Seeding importance aside, heavy 2 and 3's on the way. I can dig Michigan State.

                          Only surprise is that Kentucky's in the South instead of Midwest. And that's not too big a deal.

                          2 seeds look like it'll be Duke, Kansas, Missouri, and Ohio State. Hoping Syracuse gets Ohio State in their region, but obviously we have to make it that far first.

                            I think Duke is a better matchup for Syracuse, either way though, I am very pleased with getting the east bracket. SU essentially will have a home court advantage in Pitt and Boston.
