For basketball fans, selection is the day of Sunday. For the NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee, this is a pressure day.
Members of the selection committee are watching the game, analyzing the resoments, and choosing the bubbles among the teams. Take a look at the biggest decisions here before 6pm on Sunday evening when the CBS unveiled the prepared brackets:
1. Is Abburn still the number 1 overall badge?
Ibn No. 1 will be a total seed unless the selection committee deviates from its usual point of view and the weather results do not overweight than the overall body of the work. While the Tigers (28-5), after falling three of their last four games on Sunday, their season is better than anyone else.
Despite playing in a strongest league in the recent memory, Abbran made the SEC title directly with a regular week remaining in the season. Tigers enter the election on Sunday with 16 quadrant 1 victories, which are three higher than any other team in college basketball. The list of elite teams defeating this season includes Houston, Alabama, Tennessee, Iowa State, Kentucky and Pardo.

To say that Obran is not a bad harm, Tigers do not even do justice. The five teams defeating Abbin appear in the top 15 of the current AP pool. When the bracket is unveiled on Sunday evening, four are likely to receive twice seeds.
According to his reputation, Duke defeated Abbin at a lonely meeting between the two teams this season at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Duke is also on the edge of Uberin in a forecast matrix, which takes into account its ridiculous average margin of victory in the ACC play. Blue Devils defeated 20 league opponents this season by an ACC record 434 points. This is the biggest scoring difference in the League game by the Power Conference team since 1953-54 Kentucky, Per State Head Basketball.
Where the Duke is concerned about the total seeds of No. 1, there is a comparison between whom the Blue Devils defeated and who defeated Obran. By entering the Saturday night ACC title game against Louis Will, Duke has eight quadrant 1 win, which is more than half of Uber. Due to the weakness of the ACC, Blue Devils has only four victories against the NCAA tournament field expected.
Houston is also an argument even after winning the Big 12 title from four games and reaching the conference tournament title game. Nevertheless, Cogarters enter the Big 12 title game against Arizona with four less quadrant 1 win against Oberin. Houston also has a head loss to Houston at the Toyota Center in Houston. In addition, Koggis also claims to be the only number 1 badge, which causes losses out of quadrant 1.

2. Who should get the final number 1 seed?
The biggest question to enter the SEC title game on Sunday is whether the final number 1 seed is at stake. Is Florida already ahead of Tennessee for its results? Or can the Wools gigers be left behind if they are defeating them for the second time in three meetings?
The undeniable thing is that Florida enters the Sunday game with a high racket. The Gaiters ranked second in the SEC, two full games from Tennessee. Both teams separated the head -to -head series in a regular season. Another quadrant in Tennessee is 1 victory, but in Florida is high in resuming and prediction measurements, it contains the percentage of quadrant 2 winning 1 percent of the winning quadrant 1 and four more victories.
Florida gitters (29-4, 14-4 seconds)
Net: 4 | SOR: 4 | Canopom 2 | Q1a: 7-3 | Q1B: 3-1 | Q2: 9-0 | Q3, Q4 Disadvantages: 0
Marki Win: Oberon, Alabama (2), Tennessee, Texas A&M, Missouri, Mississippi Estate, Oli Miss
Disadvantages: In Tennessee, Kentucky, in Missouri, in Georgia
Tennessee Volunteer (27-6, 12-6 seconds)
Net: 6 | SOR: 7 | Canopom 5 | Q1a: 7-5 | Q1B: 4-1 | Q2: 5-0 | Q3, Q4 Disadvantages: 0
Marki wins: Eburn, Florida, Alabama, Texas A&M, in Louis Will, Eli Naya, in Missouri,
Disadvantages: In Oberin, in Florida, Kentucky (2), Oli Miss, in Wonderblat
So if Florida wins on Sunday, the decision for the committee is easy. Gaiters are included in the number 1 seedline, Duke and Houston. Wells are settled for Michigan State and Alabama as well as number 2.
But if the Tennessee wins, the Wools will narrow the margin. When you look at non-league victories in Louisville and Illinois, they have only another loss than Florida, 2-1 heads compared to giters and a higher list of market wins.
Committee members have long claimed that the results of the Sunday Conference Tournament Title Games are important despite the evidence. He says he makes several brackets to calculate different results.
Sunday’s SEC title game can provide an exciting lamitus test. There are a lot of Tennessee’s fans if Volks defeated Florida and still will not leave the gathers behind for the final number 1 badge.
3. How many SEC teams should make the NCAA tournament?
The SEC will almost certainly overtake the record 11 NCAA tournament bid that was received by the 2011 Big East. The more appropriate question is how much it is.
Nine SEC teams have been locking to make 68 fields for weeks. In most brackets estimates, Georgia, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Wonderblats are also hidden, though it would not be surprising that it would not be surprising to see Commodores or Razi Backs connecting the first four in Dutin. This leaves Texas as the SEC bubble team, which now awaits the most harassing between the unveiling of the bracket.
Texas’ resuming strength is seven quadrant 1 win, which is tied to the most Oklahoma in the bubble teams. Long Horns defeated Kentucky, Texas A&M, Missouri and Mississippi state during a regular season and added the second victory over the AGE during the SEC tournament game.
It will depend on the committee to decide whether it is enough to meet Texas’s clear flaws. Long Horns (19-15) has a Lot The top of the losses are 10-15 against the two quadrant. They have a healthy number of standard wins, but they also need a ridiculous number of opportunities for their acquisition.
If the Texas field is created, it will bid seconds 14 NCAAs. This feat is possible only due to the dominance of the SEC’s non -conference last November and December. The League won against 88.9 % of other conferences in its sports, gathered a record of 58-19 against the other four power conferences and won the choice of Duke, Houston, Texas Tech and St. John.
4. Is North Carolina in or out?
North Carolina found a special brutal way to lose in which the ACC tournament that won against the top rank Duke on Friday night could be the semi -finals. One lane violation with the Forward Jai Lane wiped the game tinging free throw, stopped the return of the other half, and destroyed the tarels with a loss of 74-71.
Where North Carolina leaves, she is in an uncertain position to enter the election on Sunday. Tar Heels are either one of the last teams or most of the brackets are among the first teams.
If North Carolina does not listen to its name on Sunday evening, then a horrific record of 1-12 in Quadrant 1 Games will be guilty. The UCLA is the only expected NCAA tournament team that has been defeated by Tar Heels all over the season. Stanford also has a 3 quadrant 3 home loss to keep their resum é in weight.
North Carolina lawyers point to 8-0 quadrant 2 records of Tar Heels. And measure their top 40 forecasts. And according to the fact that his seven quadrant 1 opportunity came against Duke, Abbin, Florida, Alabama and Michigan estate-all the teams who are likely to get two seeds on Sunday.
This is the last point. The committee should take time to meditate. Should Zavar, Texas, Indiana or other bubbles have done any better performance against North Carolina’s schedule than tarbbles?
5. Where should Gonzaga be seed?
For the committee, the challenge of sowing Gonzaga is that there is a contradiction between what the ziggies have done and how good predictions say they can be. Gonzaga has a capable of number 8 or 9 seeds, yet canopom, NCAA pure classification and other prediction matrix zigs (25-8) classify as the top 10 team in the country.
This disagreement is partially producing how close the eight losses of Gonzaga are. Three out of eight were in overtime. The remaining five came by 24 points. All other than two against opponents belonging to the NCAA tournament. Zigus’s 24.1 -point victory also makes a difference. In all season, their only four victories have been less than 10 points. He defeated Beller by 38, crushed Indiana for 16 years and won by 13 in San Diego State.
Gonzaga has entered the NCAA tournament this year, which has made nine straightforward Sweet, which meets North Carolina (1985-1993) and Duke (1998-2006) since 64 bracket teams have been expanded. Point Guard Ryan Nambhard’s play -making, low post -scoring of Center Graham Ayak and the tight explosives of the Wing Khalif war gives the real hope to increase the series.
This is not one of the best teams in Gonzaa for the past decade, but this is not a potential draw for the second round, about which one of the top seeds will be happy.
