ESPN updates Bracketology with Selection Sunday just hours away
ESPN’s Joe Lunardi updated his latest edition of Bracketology with Selection Sunday mere hours away.
Before we find out who’s in and who’s out, a couple conference tournaments have champions to crown. While the Texas Longhorns, Duke Blue Devils and Arizona Wildcats all won their respective conferences on Saturday, the SEC, Big Ten and AAC will finish up on Sunday.
It should be an exciting day of college basketball, with matchups like the Alabama Crimson Tide versus the Texas A&M Aggies, and Purdue Boilermakers taking on the Penn State Nittany Lions.
Before all that tips off, here’s the latest edition of Lunardi’s Bracketology, which features an in-depth look at how the potential 68-team NCAA Tournament field could look by the end of Sunday.
