ESPN releases updated Bracketology for NCAA Tournament on Selection Sunday

After a long wait, Selection Sunday is finally here. By the end of the day on Sunday, the full NCAA Tournament bracket will be revealed, and teams will know their fate for March Madness. There are still a few games remaining on the conference tournament slate, which could further impact the bracket. But on the morning of Selection Sunday, ESPN has released a new NCAA Tournament Bracketology.

There are five games on Sunday’s slate prior to the selection show. Yale and Princeton fight for the Ivy League crown at 12 noon ET, and then Tennessee and Texas A&M battle for the SEC title while Richmond takes on Davidson for the Atlantic 10 Championship at 1 p.m. ET. Houston and Memphis then fight for the American at 3:15 p.m., and Iowa takes on Purdue with the Big Ten title on the line at 3:30 p.m.

Here is ESPN’s full NCAA Tournament Bracketology with hours remaining before the selection show. The Big Ten leads the way with nine selections. The first team out and last team in feature a couple of teams with differing fates in their respective conference tournaments. SMU lost in the AAC semifinals, and the Mustangs now could be out of the picture. But Texas A&M’s run to the SEC title game has then on the right side of things.
