UPDATE: 3:40pm. CLICK HERE to view the final Mock Selection Committee Bracket!!
We are building it right now! We do not feel the Houston v Cincinnati game will change either team. Cincinnati is the outright first place finisher and shouldn’t be punished for losing, nor should they be rewarded for beating a team behind them. Houston has already beaten Cincinnati and shouldn’t be rewarded for repeating something that they’ve already done.

JOHN TEITEL’S PICKS
Selection Sunday is finally here! We are now only hours away from finding out the fantastic field as we continue to make our own NCAA tourney predictions. Last March HoopsHD’s Jon Teitel correctly picked every single 1 of the 68 teams that made the tourney, 63 of which were within 1 spot of their actual seed, including 43 right on the money. See below for his list of who will make the cut when they announce the field today (with a final update coming before 6PM ET) and if you agree or disagree then feel free to tweet us. To see how we stack up with other websites (ranked 4th out of 113 entries over the past 5 years), check out: www.bracketmatrix.com
