6:50 p.m.: The complete bracket is now out, so let the debate begin as to which teams should have made it and which teams received the benefit of the doubt.
Overall, the selection committee seems to have gotten things right this time around, as it's hard to argue with many of the picks.
A few schools that could take umbrage with the committee, however, include Drexel, Miami, Washington, Seton Hall and Northwestern.
Northwestern, in particular, is a team that it's disappointing to see not get in regardless of your fandom. The program has never earned an NCAA tournament selection, so it certainly would have made for a feel-good story.
Otherwise, there's not a whole lot of surprises. The biggest takeaway for the casual fan in the Boston area is Harvard earning a No. 12 seed in the East region and a date with No. 5 Vanderbilt in what could be dubbed the Academic Bowl.
Some other things of note: Iona and BYU earned the two lowest at-larged bids, and they'll square off for the right to face No. 3 Marquette in the West region. Also, Roy Williams' North Carolina team will be playing as the top seed in the same region as No. 2 Kansas, potentially setting up a game between Williams and the school he coached from 1988-2003.
6:40 p.m.: Top-seeded North Carolina will open up just down the road in Greensboro at part of the Midwest region.
Here are the other top four seeds in that region, and their opponents.
No. 2 Kansas vs. No. 15 Detroit
No. 3 Georgetown vs. No. 14 Belmont
No. 4 Michigan vs. No. 13 Ohio
6:35 p.m.: The bracket is out for the East region, which will go through Boston. And guess who's in it…Harvard.
No. 1 Syracuse will take on No. 16 UNC-Asheville, while No. 2 Ohio State will square off with No. 15 Loyola (Md.).
But in the the real story as it pertains to New England, the Crimson have earned a No. 12 seed and will take on No. 5 Vanderbilt in the tournament's opening round…Upset? Either way, that's two academically sound programs.
But they'll trade notebooks for jump shots in the hopes of eventually playing in the East Regional at TD Garden on March 22 and 24. In order for Harvard to end up playing at the Garden, the Crimson will need to take down Vandy, and then defeat the winner of the Wisconsin-Montana (No. 4 vs. No. 13) matchup.
No, Jeremy Lin isn't walking through those doors, Harvard fans. But with the effort shown by Tommy Amaker's group this season, it might not matter.
Here are the rest of the matchups in an intriguing East bracket.
No. 3 Florida State vs. No. 14 St. Bonaventure
No. 4 Wisconsin vs. No. 13 Montana
No. 6 Cincinnati vs. No. 11 Texas
No. 7 Gonzaga vs. No. 10 West Virginia
6:25 p.m.: We have our first surprise of the evening, with Iona having a chance to play its way in. Iona will play BYU for a chance to face No. 3 Marquette.
Over in the West region, Michigan State will be forced to dispose of Long Island in Round 1. No. 2 Missouri, meanwhile, will hit the hardwood against No. 15 Norfolk State.
The 8-9 matchup in the West will include Memphis and St. Louis.
Here's a look at the top four seeds and their opponents in the West.
No. 1 Michigan State vs. No. 16 Long Island
No. 2 Missouri vs. No. 15 Norfolk State
No. 3 Marquette vs. No. 14 BYU/Iona
No. 4 Louisville vs. No. 13 Davidson
6:15 p.m.: The South region has been revealed, and Duke, Baylor and Indiana will follow behind Kentucky at seeds 2, 3 and 4, respectively.
Kentucky will play the winner of the Mississippi Valley State-Western Kentucky play-in game in Round 1, while Duke will take on Lehigh (26-7).
Other matchups in the South include Notre Dame and Xavier squaring off in the 7-10 game, No. 6 UNLV playing No. 11 Colorado, and No. 14 South Dakota State trying to upset No. 3 Baylor.
In the always exciting 8-9 matchup in the South, Iowa State and UConn will throw down. A former Cinderella, VCU, has earned a No. 12 seed and will face No. 5 Wichita State. Those 5-12 games are always intriguing as well.
6:05 p.m.: The rest of the No. 1 seeds have been released, and they go to Syracuse, North Carolina and Michigan State.
Kentucky will be the top seed in the South region, while Syracuse will hold the distinction in the East, North Carolina in the Midwest and Michigan in the West.
6:00 p.m.: And here we go. It's just about time for the complete 68-team field to be revealed.
What we do know, though, is that Kentucky has been named the No. 1 overall seed in the tourney. That should come as no surprise given the success that John Calipari's bunch has had this season.
4:30 p.m.: NCAA basketball committee chairman Jeff Hathaway said on CBS on Saturday that the 37 at-large selections have already been made, making the next 90 minutes or so leading up to the announcements seem even longer.
One interesting bubble team in all of this is Colorado State. The Rams finished with a poor 3-9 road record (1-6 in Mountain West play), but the rest of their resume suggests they should get in.
The Rams finished 20-11 overall with a stength of schedule in the nation's top 10, and they picked up three wins over ranked teams — as well as another three wins over teams who should end up cracking the 68-team field.
3:30 p.m.: Three more teams have punched their tickets to enter the Madness.
St. Bonaventure took down Xavier easily, 67-56. This was mainly due to the fact that Andrew Nicholson just erupted for 26 points on 7 of 13 shooting, and hit all 10 of his free-throw attempts. He was the only player on his team who scored in double figures.
Florida State, meanwhile, outlasted North Carolina by the score of 85-82 to win the ACC Championship game. The Seminoles had a 14-point lead with 14:37 left in the game, but the Tar Heels brought out their 3-point shooters and cut the lead to 83-82 with 32 seconds remaining. Florida State hit two big free throws down thre stretch to extend the lead to three and eventually pull out the victory.
It's an impressive win for FSU, because not only did the Seminoles take down UNC and Duke in the ACC tournament en route to the title, but it marks the second time this season that they've downed those teams. It's the first time a team has defeated UNC and Duke twice in the same season since the 1995-96 Georgia Tech squad, which featured Stephon Marbury and Matt Harpring.
Vanderbilt brought its best game to the table against No. 1 ranked Kentucky and ended up with a 71-64 victory. It was Vandy's first SEC title since 1951.
8 a.m. ET: It's not quite Super Bowl Sunday for some, but for enthusiastic college basketball fans, it's even better. We've finally arrived at Selection Sunday.
As usual, this year's tournament selection process is surely an interesting one — madness, if you will. And we'll know the entire 68-team field in a matter of hours, allowing everyone to get cracking on filling out their brackets — which we'll have printable versions of on NESN.com Sunday night.
Until the bracket officially comes out, though, be sure to check back here throughout the day for updates on remaining conference championship games, as well as some opinionated commentary. It should be fun.
