Selection Sunday has finally arrived. The 2018 NCAA March Madness Selection Show will be hosted on TBS tonight at 6 p.m. ET. Based on raw data and statistics, below is our projected final bracket. Good luck to everyone in their bracket challenges this year and let the madness truly begin!
The final look of this bracket depends on the outcome of today’s Atlantic 10 Conference Tournament Championship between Rhode Island vs. Davidson. If Davidson wins, they guarantee themselves a spot in the tournament, but if they lose, they’ll most likely be heading to the NIT instead. We’ll be posting a final version after the results of today’s games:
Penn vs. Harvard – 12pm (Ivy League Conference Final)
Kentucky vs Tennessee – 1pm (SEC Conference Final)
Davidson vs Rhode Island – 1pm (Atlantic 10 Conference Final)
Texas Arlington vs Georgia State – 2pm (Sun Belt Conference Final)
Houston vs Cincinnati – 3:30pm (American Conference Final)
