Turner Sports announce changes to 2018 NCAA Selection Show presentation

The second half of the broadcast will comprise of a whole lot of analysis from the Atlanta mega-studio and conversation with the tournament’s lead broadcast team of Jim Nantz, Bill Raftery, and Grant Hill, Bryant said. The Bearcats are moving up the seed list after winning the American Athletic Conference regular-season title.

The Wolverines (28-7) are now ranked No. 7 in the AP Top 25.

For the first time in 36 years, TBS will take over Sunday’s night “Selection Show”, revealing the bracket pairings (6 p.m. ET).

Even though the NCAA Tournament won’t start until March 13, the madness of March already is upon us. “I think their team’s consistently getting better on the defensive end and really played hard defensively so we know it’s going to be tough to go against them”. The announcer dubbed “Uncle Verne” called some of the most memorable plays in March Madness history, including Christian Laettner’s turnaround jumper to beat Kentucky in 1992.

Because the Big Ten moved its conference tournament up one week, MI will have a 10- or 11-day layoff, depending on when it plays its first-round game.

Here’s the schedule for the remaining games courtesy of the Big Ten. Moe Wagner is one of the best players in our league.

Palm now projects MI as a No. 4 seed in San Diego.

Virginia joined fellow ACC team Duke as teams to be unanimous No. 1 in the AP Top 25 this season.

Villanova (27-4) is No. 2 after jumping over Xavier (27-4).

College basketball’s regular season is finished. While it was interesting and fun that you moved your conference tournament to Madison Square Garden this year, that venue is the home of Big East basketball.

MI won the tournament with a 75-66 win over Purdue.

Then there’s Penn State, which lost in the semifinals, and Nebraska, which lost in the quarterfinals on Thursday. This is where the NCAA can be criticized the most because not every team can make the tournament and they mostly base the hard decisions completely on statistics.

In determining where teams play, the committee starts at the top of its final seed list and works its way down. The Wildcats will face the Arizona State-Colorado victor in Thursday’s quarterfinals as the only AP Top 25 team in the field.

After the 68 teams are known, the bracket matchups will be released over the course of 30 minutes.

Florida is an example of a team peaking at the right time. Villanova has eight, Xavier and Purdue have six, Cincinnati has five, and Michigan State has three. We also give our predictions on how the tournament will obviously shake out since the SEC has been so clear this season. “It’s more likely they go to a 3 than go to a 5″. The top-seeded Bearcats open in Friday’s quarterfinals against the SMU-Connecticut victor, while the second-seeded Shockers face the Tulane-Temple victor.

Little Caesars Arena will serve as a host site for the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament next weekend.
