March Madness is just days away and for sure most schools are eagerly awaiting how their respective teams will pan out. Though it is likely that teams with inferior records would comprise the bubble where surprises could not be far from happening.
All that would depend on Selection Sunday where a monumental turnaround could happen if some of the lesser favored teams are able to pull off some surprises.
Take for example the Temple Owls who have managed to finish the season strong. Though their last three victories hardly made an impact on their standing, they do have the distinction of pulling one over favorites Duke and Villanova earlier in the season. Could this be enough for the Owls to gain the nod?
Another team could be Ole Miss who despite its skid could still make the grade. The Rebels were one of the favorites but heartbreaking losses in their latter assignments accounted for the lower win-loss record. Despite all that, the Rebels could gain the nod this Sunday.
The Colorado State Rams have had a colorful season so far, romping to 14 wins and matching a school record of wins in a season at 26. Would this be enough for them to get in? Critics believe that they have a chance though it may be close.
One team whose fate is out of their hands are the BYU Cougars. After making a strong run to the West Coast Conference, a 91-75 defeat to Gonzaga have hurt their chances. The only thing going for the Cougars right now is their eight straight wins which could convince the selection committee to count them in.
It should be a pretty interesting Sunday in the NCAA and teams, as well as their supporters, will finally know if their team is in or unfortunately out. Selection Sunday will start at 6 p.m. ET on March 15, and will be aired on CBS.
