How to Watch the NCAA Tournament Selection Show Live Stream Online

One of the 68 will be Northwestern, which will break its staggering dry spell and debut in the NCAA Tournament. This year’s Villanova squad knows how to win games, and with three players averaging double figures this season, Villanova could become the first team to repeat as champions of the NCAA Tournament since Florida in 2006 and 2007. The last eight teams in the tournament play on that Tuesday before the official start of the tournament on Thursday and Friday. However, oddsmakers don’t think Gonzaga will be troubled by SD State too much as the opening line of -23 is the biggest spread posted amongst the first round games at the moment.

Check all of them out below. A No. 1 has never lost to a No. 16 in Tournament history, but if BYU can beat the Zags … Southern California and Kansas State vs. Wake Forest.

If Kentucky can avenge the UCLA loss, there waiting could be another all-too-familiar foe in ACC regular season champ North Carolina, which Kentucky edged 103-100 at the CBS Sports Classic in Las Vegas on December 17. There are certainly some huge threats to Villanova in the East, but Jay Wright will be happy with the other 5 top seeds in his region. Again, the West got the weakest team in the group, with the Mountaineers the No. 4 seed in the region. Virginia and Florida are facing problems, as both UNC-Wilmington and East Tennessee State are pretty good hoopybucket programs.

No. 7 seed SC minus-2.5 vs.

Louisville will play 15th-seeded Jacksonville State, of the Ohio Valley Conference, at 2:45 p.m.

West Virginia’s press is created to speed up teams into mistakes and hurried shots, and Gonzaga will have to be very careful about protecting the ball and playing within the system.

They’ll face the victor of a very tough, big conference 8-9 match when Miami and Michigan State face off. And only two tourneys – that’s 2 of 15 – over this time period saw zero 12-5 upsets. If the American Athletic Conference is seen as something resembling a major league, then the committee gave only two at-large bids to teams that can realistically be called mid-majors: Saint Mary’s (28-4) and VCU (26-8).

No. 8 seed Miami minus-1.5 vs. I was courtside for two 15-over-2 upsets – Lehigh over Duke and Middle Tennessee over Michigan State.

No. 6 seed Creighton minus-2 vs.

No. 3 Baylor vs.

Wisconsin vs. Virginia Tech: I was much more impressed with the Badgers in the Big 10 tournament before they ran out of gas against MI in the final. Among them are Oregon, Arizona, as well as North Carolina.

Finally, how did Wisconsin end up as a No. 8 seed, considering where the rest of the conference is seeded?

No. 5 Minnesota vs.

Stay away from: No. 3 OR should make it to the Sweet 16, but a season-ending injury to big man and shot-blocker extraordinaire Chris Boucher might be tough to overcome.
