It is March my friends. You know what that means. Have you ever seen the videos of people going around college campuses asking students what songs they are listening to? I wonder how many would say the March Madness theme, I know I would.
The first major moment in March Madness is Selection Sunday.
What is Selection Sunday?
Selection Sunday is the day when the NCAA Selection Committee announces the official NCAA Tournament bracket. This will include the teams that are in the tourney, their respectives seeds, and the region they will be playing in.
When is Selection Sunday?
Selection Sunday will be on Sunday, March 16th, 2025. The program will begin at 4 p.m. MST. The men's bracket will be announced first, and then the women's bracket.
Where can I watch?
