Each November, 351 Division I men’s basketball teams start on a level playing field, hoping to cut down the nets during the Final Four in April.
One of those teams will end its journey in Phoenix, but to get there, a grueling four-month trek must take place before the NCAA selection committee chooses the field of 68 teams that will compete for the championship at State Farm Stadium.
This season, amid constant talks of expansion, the 68-team tournament field will include the automatic bid from the 32 teams that won their conference tournaments and 36 at-large selections, with some teams on the bubble having their dreams shattered at being left out.
Here is how to watch the selection show:
