Selection Sunday to Reveal Men’s and Women’s NCAA Brackets Tonight

Committee choices hinge on NET rankings plus Quad 1 results to separate top seeds from a crowded bubble.

Overview

  • The men’s field will be unveiled at 6 p.m. ET on CBS, with the women’s bracket following at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN.
  • Bracket projections largely place Duke, Michigan, Arizona and Florida as the men’s No. 1 seeds heading into tonight’s reveal.
  • UConn enters the women’s tournament 34-0 and is widely expected to be the No. 1 overall seed, with UCLA, Texas and South Carolina projected as fellow No. 1s.
  • The women’s top 16 hosting teams were released Saturday, granting first‑weekend home games; Kentucky was not among the hosts.
  • Thirty‑one automatic bids are secured from conference champions, and bubble outlooks vary widely, with examples including Tennessee projected as a No. 5 by some outlets and a No. 6 by others, and differing women’s bubble calls for Nebraska, Arizona State, Virginia, BYU and others.
