Selection Sunday 2015: Start Time, TV Schedule and Bubble Teams to Watch

Judgment day for bubble teams around the nation has arrived. Selection Sunday is here. By day's end, the bracket for the 2015 NCAA Tournament will be set and a handful of squads will be left on the outside looking in at March Madness' main event.

Although there will surely be plenty of talk about snubs once the selection committee makes its decisions, the arguments likely won't be overly strong. Most of the teams on the fringe failed to impress down the stretch and into the conference tournaments.

If nothing else, that leaves the door open for some surprises during the selection show. Let's check out all of the key details for the bracket reveal and take a closer look at some of the big-name programs waiting to discover their fate.

Bubble Teams To Watch

Texas Longhorns

Expectations were sky high for Texas going into the season. The Longhorns were ranked 10th in both the Associated Press and USA Today preseason polls. Adding prized prospect Myles Turner to a roster with a good amount of returning talent figured to make them contenders.

Instead, Texas sits on the bubble with a 20-13 record, including an 8-10 mark during regular-season play in the Big 12. They were one of several teams with tournament hopes that came up short in conference tourney play on Thursday alone, as Greg Wrubell of KSL noted:

That's been the story for much of the past few weeks. Teams on the bubble have been unable to fully secure a bid, but nobody else has stepped up to steal the spot away. That's good news for the Longhorns, a team with a very strong schedule to fall back on.

They boast plenty of talent. It just hasn't come together for them as they hoped or the preseason poll-voters expected. Perhaps being given a second chance by the selection committee is the spark they need to suddenly get hot and make a run.

Indiana Hoosiers

Indiana was on a good track until about a month ago. Starting with a home loss to Purdue, the Hoosiers lost five of their last seven games. Only one of those defeats came at the hands of a ranked team: Maryland in the Big Ten Tournament.

Now the question is whether that late slide could cost them a spot. Bob Kravitz of WTHR Sports passed along comments from leading scorer Yogi Ferrell, who liked the way the team played in the conference tourney and is hoping they did enough to make the big dance:

"

If we're fortunate to get into the NCAA Tournament, we're going to try and ride with these two games that we played here. I liked the way we played. I liked the way we fought for both games, moving the ball, playing great defense, rebounding, and hopefully we've done enough to make the tournament. If not, so be it. But if we do, we feel like we can play the same way going into these next games.

"

Indiana does have some nice wins on its resume—Maryland, Butler and SMU among the most notable—but it also let a lot of opportunities to further bolster its chances slip away. It went just 4-9 against the RPI top 50.

The RPI rating and the records associated with it aren't the only factor. It does present a general feel for how a team performed, though. The Hoosiers are a solid squad with some star power. Whether they did enough to make the big dance is one of the committee's toughest decisions.

UCLA Bruins

UCLA had a handful of chances to pick up a truly marquee victory. It played Arizona twice along with games against Kentucky and Gonzaga. The Bruins were unable to come out on top in any of those contests, which could be the difference in the end should they fall short.

Their biggest wins came against Utah and Oregon. Alas, they also have losses against those teams. When you put it all together Doug Gottlieb of CBS Sports believes the Bruins may very well end up without a tournament spot:

"

I think #UCLA is better than many bubble teams, fear they won’t get in—not having Tony Parker on Oregon trip was a killer

— Doug Gottlieb (@GottliebShow) March 14, 2015"

One of the most prominent issues for UCLA all season was a lack of depth. It features five players averaging double figures but nobody else above four points per contest. That led to a small margin of error and inconsistency.

Just like the other two teams on the list, there's some obvious upside—enough to make a little bit of noise in the big dance if they get in. But the selection committee must judge the teams based on what they accomplished. It remains to be seen if the Bruins did enough.
