March Madness brackets are just a day away from being announced, with the college basketball world eagerly awaiting Selection Sunday.
On the men’s side, Duke has entered conference tournament season as the nation’s top team, but teams like Auburn, St. John’s, and Michigan State all seem primed to make deep runs at the Big Dance. There’s also plenty of stress on the bubble, where traditional powers like North Carolina and Indiana figure to be among either the last teams in, or the best teams to be left out.
UCLA seems likely to be the top overall seed in the women’s tournament, but the list of serious contenders remains long. National Player of the Year frontrunner JuJu Watkins and USC are in the mix, as are traditional powers like defending champion South Carolina and UConn. The Top 25 rankings have seen plenty of shuffling, pointing to an even less predictable tournament than usual.
Here’s everything you need to know to catch Selection Sunday, including how to watch the announcements for both the men’s and women’s tournaments.
