Every March, 68 of the nation’s greatest collegiate basketball teams compete in what is undoubtedly one of the most exciting sports events of the year: March Madness. Its popularity usually exceeds a basketball fandom, with sports fans all over the country filling out their brackets and competing with their friends, to even class competitions in schools, (like ours). And while the easiest and most entertaining way of filling out a bracket (if you wanna compete worldwide) is doing it online, that isn’t quite possible yet:

The March Madness bracket gets decided by a selection committee hired by the NCAA every year, and they make a special day for it known as Selection Sunday. That Sunday, is actually this Sunday, and part of the reason why they have to wait is because of conference tournaments. Every conference in Division 1 of college basketball sends at least one team to March Madness, that being the tournament champion. While some champions have already been decided and punched their ticket (the ones listed below) every other conference will host their final tomorrow.

Gonzaga (WCC)

High Point (Big South)

Queens (ASUN)

Hofstra (CAA)

Siena (MAAC)

Missouri Valley (MVC)

Long Island (NEC)

Tennessee State (OVC)

Lehigh (Patriot League)

Furman (SoCon)

McNeese (Southland)

Southern (SWAC)

North Dakota State (Summit League)

Troy (Sun Belt)

Every other conference in the division decides their champion (trust, there’s still a lot) including all the major conferences (SEC, ACC, Big Ten etc.). After that, the selection committee takes every conference champion and seeds them with the rest of the best college basketball teams that couldn’t win those, and a 68-team bracket is constructed and usually put up on websites like NCAA and CBS Sports to start your bracket challenges the same night. So don’t wait when you get the chance, I know I won’t.
