NCAA Tournament Selection Show.  Watch to see if the Tar Heels make it to the Big Dance.  The show will be live on ESPN from 8-9pm to announce the brackets.  An additional hour of analysis will be carried on ESPNU from 9-10pm. The final bracket will be posted at the NCAA Championship web site here. Meanwhile, keep an eye on the list of automatic bids given to tournament winners here.

Technically on the bubble, the Tar Heels are still predicted to make it into the NCAA tournament according to Charlie Cream's Bracketology at ESPN.  View his latest predictions here.  Tech Tip:  Move your mouse cursor over each team (do not click, just hover) on the bracketology page and a description of why they are in that spot should pop up.

Also, just above the bracket, is a link to Charlie's latest column which describes some of the decision making process.  In his March 1 column he made the case for UNC making the tournament.  Read about it here. The March 8 update is here.

SCHEDULING NOTE: There is conflicting information concerning the time of this show.  As of this writing the ESPN schedule shows 8pm for the selection show, however, the original NCAA announcement here lists the show starting at 7pm. Please check you TV listings on Monday to ensure you do not miss the show!
