selection sunday

Selection Sunday 2012 is on March 11th. CBS will announced the 68-team field (the 2nd year of the new format) beginning at 6 PM. This follows the completion of the Big Ten Championship, which is the last game before the Field is announced.

 

For the second time, all 2012 NCAA Tournament games will be aired live. CBS, TNT, TBS, and truTV will cover the games using a plethora of announcing teams. This is a preliminary schedule set before the individual games were announced. After Selection Sunday, visit CollegeHoops.net for a more in-depth schedule.

 

Inevitably, when the committee announces the bracket on selection sunday, a "mid-major" will be highest ranked RPI team to be left out of the field.

Over the last 6 years, the highest RPI team not to make the field has consistently come from a non-BCS conference. In fact, over the last three years, the committee became even more biased. At least the 5 best RPI teams not to make the field were "mid-majors".
