Selection Sunday

Here we are, just a couple hours away from finding out whose going to be dancin’ and whose going to be packin’ up until next year.  CBS is airing the selection show at 3pm, but ESPN will also be providing coverage through Sports Center.

Time to see if UConn or Memphis gets the number one seed, where Gonzaga falls, and which bubble teams will get a shot to mix-up the results in the big dance.  I’ll be here on this blog posting as we find out the selections.
