Le Youth - Paradise feat. Oaks (Extended MIx)

It is an annual event. The regular season is officially over and teams eagerly wait to see where they may be playing in the NCAA Tournaments or if they have even made the tournaments.

But we can't wait for Monday afternoon's bracket reveals. We want to know now.

On Sunday's Selection Show Special, we are the selection committees. We will go through the process just as the national committees will to select at-large teams and set the NCAA Tournaments. It is our MOCK selections, though we have a pretty good accuracy.

We hear from both national committee chairs and chat with programs who have punched their tickets to the NCAA Tournament.

We will also do our mock selections starting with the men's picks and then the women's with our selection panels.

However, the pressure continues to ramp up and the difference between the dream continuing or waking up, is razor thin. Hear how teams are reacting to getting through the first weekend and preparing for the next round. Plus we hear from at least one student-athlete rewriting the record books.
