This Sunday, March 11, is NCAA Selection Sunday, and we here at GoTeamsGo will be hosting a live chat for the event as the teams for March Madness are announced. Chat will start at 5:30pm, one half-hour before the official selection show begins on CBS. That will give everyone a chance to make predictions as to which dark horses will be in, and which bubble teams will be snubbed. Make sure you join us then, college basketball fans!

Okay, we're gonna go ahead and open this up for discussion a bit early. Welcome to NCAA SELECTION SUNDAY, folks!

Florida won the SEC title today, 77-56 over the Arkansas Razorbacks.
North Carolina beat N.C. State, 89-80, to win the ACC Championship earlier.
Ohio State currently leads Wisconsin, 53-43 in the Big 10 finals.
Kansas has come back and taken a 69-66 lead over the Longhorns in the Big 12 title game.

[G.O.D.F.A.T.H.A.]

Lets hope Florida State joins Florida and FAMU in the tournament. Three Florida teams would be great.

Buckeyes have beaten Wisconsin, 66-49.
Texas and Kansas are headed to OT, tied up at 79-79.

FSU was 22-9. A better showing in the ACC tourney would've made them a lock, but I think they get it.

Thirty minutes until selection time! I can't wait.

Oh yeah, you said it, G.O.D.F.A.T.H.A. - wonder which of the bubble teams will sneak in.

[Lefty Noob]

This Texas - Kansas game is just the appetizer... man, can't wait for March Madness to start in full effect!

[EmpireWF]

I don't know about any bubble teams but I see the four 1 seeds as: Ohio State, Florida, North Carolina and Memphis.

Yes, Kansas should get the slight.

[G.O.D.F.A.T.H.A.]

I think its going to be Ohio State, Florida, Memphis and Kansas.

Can't see that happening... Kansas struggled a bit with a game Texas team today, but I'd bet dollars to donuts they win up being a #1 seed. If it's worth anything, Bill Self thinks they're a #1 seed.

Nah, I've got the Buckeyes, the Gators, the Tar Heels and the Jawhawks.

[Lefty Noob]

Will Nevada get in? What about Butler?

[Lefty Noob]

Watching ESPN... they don't seem to think WVU gets in. Hope they're wrong.
