Selection Sunday 2015: Tournament Dates, Live Stream Info and Overrated Teams

Selection Sunday couldn't be more stressful for teams on the bubble. Not only do they have to wait all day for the bracket reveal, but they also sit around knowing a potential bid-stealing squad like Connecticut is in action with a chance to take another spot away.

Those teams on the fringe of the 2015 NCAA tournament won't have a great argument to make if they get left out, though. At-large bids have been available for the taking in recent weeks, and very few bubble teams rose to the occasion to earn them.

In turn, the decision gets left in the hands of the selection committee. So let's check out all of the important information for the selection show and then March Madness itself. That's followed by a look at some overrated teams at this stage of the season.

Analyzing Overrated Teams

Kansas

Being overrated is a relative term. Just because Kansas is on the list doesn't mean the Jayhawks are going to get sent packing after their first game. Instead, it's just difficult to view them as a serious championship contender given their unsteady play at the offensive end.

Bill Self made some telling comments after a blowout victory over Texas Tech last month. His team had made 11 threes in the game, but Sean Keeler of Fox Sports Kansas City pointed out the stalwart head coach wasn't overly pleased.

"No matter what, you can score inside off the bounce, you can score off the pass, you can score it in transition or whatever," Self said. "But you've got to be able to score close to the basket. That's the name of the game, in my opinion, is getting easy baskets, and eliminating easy baskets. And we're not doing near a good enough job of doing that inside."

Self called the success "fool's gold." He's right.

There's no doubting the Jayhawks' top-end ability. When they are clicking on all cylinders, they are extremely dangerous. But getting easy buckets is crucial during crunch time in key games.

Saturday was a good example. They built a big lead in the Big 12 title game against Iowa State but couldn't close it out. The Cyclones fought all the way back to win. It's hard to have six straight great shooting games, which Kansas will need to win the title, without consistent success inside.

Maryland

Again, Maryland is a good team. The question, however, is whether the Terrapins are a great team capable of making some major March Madness noise. There are a couple of key concerns that point toward the answer being no.

The Terrapins have had remarkable success in close games, as Dan Steinberg of The Washington Post noted. That's often attributed to team toughness, but as the old saying goes, if you play with fire, you'll get burned. It's extremely difficult to maintain that type of winning percentage in narrow contests.

The team's gaudy 27-6 record is also a bit deceiving. The Terps went 17-0 against teams ranked outside the RPI Top 100. That means they had a 10-6 mark against Top 100 teams. Not terrible, but it doesn't exactly scream unbeatable title contender.

Furthermore, KenPom.com ranks Maryland outside the top 30 in both adjusted offensive and defensive efficiency. Being unable to lean heavily on either aspect of the game if the other is struggling will make it tough for the Terps to make a deep run.

Arkansas

The Razorbacks head into Sunday's SEC Championship Game with a chance to vastly improve their resume by knocking off undefeated Kentucky. That said, even if Arkansas pulls off the shocker, it will be a dangerous team to rely on in the Big Dance.

That's because of its defense. The Razorbacks have allowed more than 90 points in a game four times this season, and only one of those contests went to overtime. The State of Sorrell noted the need for better play on that end of the floor:

Not having the capability to get critical stops on defense is a major red flag in the NCAA tournament. The Razorbacks may be able to shoot their way through a couple of rounds. But even that outcome is not completely guaranteed.

For example, if they end up as a No. 5 seed in the dreaded upset-haven matchup with a No. 12 seed that possesses a couple of dangerous shooters, watch out. Arkansas could be heading for an early exit unless its own marksmen get red hot from the field.
