The day has finally arrived as we continue to make our NCAA tourney predictions: Happy Selection Sunday! HoopsHD’s Jon Teitel correctly picked 67 of the 68 teams that made the 2021 tourney, 62 of which were within 1 spot of their actual seed, including 47 right on the money. He will spend the day predicting which 68 teams will hear their names called tonight. See below for his list of who would make the cut if they picked the field right now, and if you agree or disagree then feel free to tweet us. To see how we stack up with other websites (ranked 19th out of 135 entries over the past 5 years), check out: www.bracketmatrix.com
