Selection Sunday 2015: Bracket Reveal Start Time, TV Schedule and Live Stream

Sean ODonnellMar 14, 2015

Conference tournaments are winding down, and bubble teams are nervously biting their nails as they anxiously await their fates on Selection Sunday. In fact, due to some unexpected results during conference showdowns, much more has to be decided than simply who's in and who's out.

Take the fight for No. 1 seeds for example. Both Duke and Virginia were ousted from the ACC tournament in the semifinals while Wisconsin and Arizona are still alive in their conference's respective postseasons. We could speculate either the Badgers or Wildcats could jump into the NCAA tournament's last top spot with a victory in the final.

Bubble Teams to Watch

Miami Hurricanes

GREENSBORO, NC - MARCH 12:  Tonye Jekiri #23 of the Miami Hurricanes tracks down a loose ball on the end line against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish during the quarterfinals of the ACC Basketball Tournament at Greensboro Coliseum on March 12, 2015 in Green

The ACC is chock-full of NCAA tournament-bound teams, as Virginia, Duke, Notre Dame, Louisville and North Carolina will all be heading to the Big Dance. Miami is in the distinct position of sitting just behind those five squads in the pecking order, placing it securely on the bubble.

A roller-coaster regular season placed the Hurricanes on the bubble well before they entered the conference tournament. Miami does have some quality wins, including a huge one over Duke, but it also has a track record of some very ugly losses, notably a 72-44 drubbing by Eastern Kentucky.

The Hurricanes finished the regular season with wins over Pittsburgh and Virginia Tech before defeating the Hokies once again to begin the ACC tournament. While Miami did lose to Notre Dame in the following round, it put on a solid performance, and the fact that the Fighting Irish advanced to the final with a win over Duke may help the Hurricanes' case.

At this point, Miami seems teetering somewhere between being one of the last four in or first four out. We'll know which of those two categories the team falls in on Selection Sunday.

Indiana Hoosiers

The Hoosiers finished the regular season in the middle of a pack of Big Ten bubble teams looking to solidify their positions before the NCAA tournament. Well, the jury is still out for Indiana after two solid conference tournament showings.

Indiana got through the regular season riding its high-powered offense, utilizing the talented skill sets of James Blackmon Jr. and Yogi Ferrell to push the pace of games and score an abundance of points to mask the team's severe defensive deficiencies. That strategy worked out at times; however, when those two sharpshooters couldn't find a groove, ugly losses were the end result.

Big wins over Butler, Ohio State and Maryland help Indiana's case, but a bad home loss to Eastern Washington and three losses to end the regular season are reasons to leave this team on the outside looking in. Still, Indiana showed its aggressiveness on offense during a dominating win over Northwestern and a close loss to Maryland in the Big Ten tournament, potentially helping its bid for the Big Dance.

It's all a matter of how the selection committee views the Hoosiers in comparison to other bubble teams. If Indiana's high-octane offense allowed it to pass the eye test, the team could be going dancing in short order.

UCLA Bruins

It continues to be difficult to figure out the Bruins. This team is quite talented and has the ability to light up the scoreboard when it gets in a rhythm; however, a lack of depth has haunted UCLA at times, leading to some ugly losses.

During the first half of the regular season, the Bruins looked dead in the water—especially after a five-game losing streak that included dropping games to Alabama and Colorado, as well as sustaining a 71-39 loss at the hands of Utah. Although, UCLA did manage to defeat the Utes in their second contest, adding solid wins against Stanford and Oregon along the way.

UCLA finished the regular season with three consecutive wins before putting up 96 points in a brilliant showing against USC in the Pac-12 tournament. The Bruins did fall to Arizona in the ensuing contest; however, they gave the Wildcats a very difficult time, taking the game down to the wire and losing by just six points.

If the selection committee liked what it saw during UCLA's tournament showings, it could overlook some disastrous regular-season affairs and send the Bruins on to the Big Dance.
