Selection Sunday: Follow as NCAA Tournament bracket is revealed
The Madness has arrived. At 6 p.m. ET, the 68-team field for the men's NCAA D-I basketball tournament will be revealed. Refresh the page for live updates.
East region
1 Duke vs. 16 Siena
8 Ohio State vs. 9 TCU
5 St. John's vs. 12 Northern Iowa
4 Kansas vs. 13 Cal Baptist
6 Louisville vs. 11 South Florida
3 Michigan State vs. 14 North Dakota State
7 UCLA vs. 10 UCF
2 UConn vs. 15 Furman
Duke's reward for winning the ACC title is the No. 1 overall seed and a region close to home. The Blue Devils will be without Caleb Foster for the foreseeable future, but should have Patrick Ngongba back during the NCAA tournament. Jon Scheyer will ensure his team is prepared from the jump with a first-round date versus No. 16 Siena and coach Gerry McNamara looming.
UConn represents a formidable No. 2 seed but faces a tough road to make it to the regional final. The Huskies could have their hands full with a potential Sweet 16 contest with Tom Izzo and No. 3 Michigan State that would be one of the most-anticipated contests of that round.
The Madness has arrived
South Florida booked the final auto-bid with a win in the American Tournament final to set the 31 teams that are in the field of 68. It's now on the committee to fill out the rest of the field with at-large teams.
Purdue caps magical tourney run
Purdue is officially the Big Ten Tournament champs after pulling away from Michigan in the second half. The Boilermakers become the first 7-seed ever to win the Big Ten tourney and now head to the NCAA Tournament full of momentum. Purdue entered the year as the preseason AP No. 1 team but struggled to live up to that potential down the stretch. Sunday's victory showcased the potential of Matt Painter's team, and it can be a serious threat in March Madness. The loss eliminates Michigan's chance to grab the No. 1 overall seed in the bracket, but the Wolverines will still top one of the regions.
Michigan-Purdue locked at half
The final major conference championship game is a banger, with Michigan and Purdue locked in a 38-38 tie at halftime. Both teams' seeds are likely set in stone - the Wolverines as a No. 1, and the Boilermakers as a No. 2 - but the top overall seed in the entire bracket is still within reach for Michigan. Nimari Burnett has 10 points at the break for the Wolverines, already outscoring his per-game average of 8.2.
What's still at stake?
Only two of the 31 automatic bids for conference champions remain undecided, with South Florida facing Wichita State and Michigan playing Purdue on Sunday afternoon for the final slots.

Big Ten Title game underway
The Big Ten title game has officially tipped off and comes with the added stakes of a possible No. 1 overall seed for the Wolverines. An emphatic victory over the Boilermakers in Chicago could secure that spot for Michigan.
2 more teams book tickets
Arkansas and VCU clinched spots in the field of 68 with wins in the SEC tournament and A-10 tournament championship games, respectively. Bubble teams will be celebrating the Rams' victory, as it would have taken away a potential at-large bid had they lost. Dayton's resume won't see it grab an NCAA tourney berth after the defeat, so that keeps an at-large spot open for those teams on the edge.
Madness hits early
The madness arrived early Sunday, with Penn clinching the Ivy League title thanks to a 44-point explosion by TJ Power. Power sent the contest to overtime with a buzzer-beating triple before the Quakers finished off Yale in the extra frame.
