Selection Sunday 2016: Live Stream, TV Coverage for Bracket Announcement
Warning: Selection Sunday may be dangerous for the life and longevity of your television.
Aside from the usual frustration that bubble teams and their fans have to endure when they are left out of the NCAA bracket and find out that they are playing in the NIT, the selection show on CBS is going to be even longer and more drawn out than in the past.
CBS has expanded the program to two hours. That's a long time for fans to watch a program that reveals all the participants and their opponents for the 2016 NCAA tournament. In the past, it was an hour long.

The broadcast begins at 5:30 p.m. ET, and the last of the bubble teams that get into the tournament will have to wait the large majority of that program just to find out who they are playing and where they are going.
Those that are on the outside looking in will find themselves stunned, disappointed and let down after watching that 120-minute program.

Likely No. 1 seeds
Look for Villanova, Kansas, Michigan State and Virginia to be named as the top seeds on Sunday.

Jay Wright's Villanova Wildcats (29-4) are playing in the Big East championship game late Saturday afternoon, but they should be a top seed whether they win the game against Seton Hall or not.
The Wildcats are led by junior guard Josh Hart, who is averaging 15.5 points per game and is connecting on an impressive 51.2 percent of his shots from the field.
Villanova has proved itself one of the best teams in the nation because of its balance. Kris Jenkins, Ryan Arcidiacono and Jalen Brunson are all double-figure scorers, while Daniel Ochefu is right behind with a mark of 9.9 points per game.
The Kansas Jayhawks (29-4) meet West Virginia for the Big 12 title Saturday night, and the Jayhawks hold down the No. 1 spot in the nation in the AP poll.
The Jayhawks have played their best basketball throughout the second half of the season and are led by senior forward Perry Ellis, who is scoring 16.7 points per night and connecting at a rate of 52.4 percent from the floor.
Ellis gets plenty of help from guard Frank Mason III (13.4 points per game) and Wayne Selden Jr. (13.1 points per night).

Michigan State (27-5) hopes to take care of some unfinished business in the NCAA tournament. The Spartans had a memorable run last year when they made it to the Final Four, but Tom Izzo's team got hammered in the national semifinals by eventual champion Duke.
The Spartans appear to have the team this year to get to the title game and possibly win it. Denzel Valentine has had a remarkable statistical year with 19.6 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, and he may mean even more to his team as a result of his leadership skills.
Bryn Forbes is averaging 14.9 points per night and connecting at a rate of 50.2 percent from beyond the arc. Power forward Matt Costello is a solid scorer with 10.4 points per game and is pulling down a team-leading 8.4 rebounds per night.
Virginia (26-6) has been one of the most consistent teams in the nation, and the Cavaliers are meeting North Carolina for the ACC tournament championship Saturday night.
Head coach Tony Bennett may not have the star power on his team that the other likely No. 1 seeds have, but Virginia has a brilliant star player in Malcolm Brogdon, who is averaging 18.8 points per game and shooting 47.8 percent from the floor.
Teammate Anthony Gill is making a big contribution by scoring 13.3 points per game and coming down with a team-leading 6.1 rebounds per night.
Bennett's teams have long been noted for defense and hustle, and this year's version is no different. The Cavs have won five games in a row heading into the championship confrontation with the Tar Heels, and their consistency makes them quite dangerous.
