Part 5 of our series recalling, researching and reviewing NCAA Tournament Selection Sundays of the past looks at the years 2005-09. Included: Jim Nantz and Billy Packer tee off on the MVC and CAA in 2006, the same year the Valley got four bids but probably (our opinion) should’ve had six.
Final notes and numbers on this year’s NCAA tourney, where this time close games picked up in the late rounds. Also, thoughts on the obvious lapse in officiating emphasis points as well as CBS & Turner’s coverage.
Notes, numbers and review from the first weekend of the 2018 NCAA Tournament, including highlights, lowlights, thoughts on television coverage and more.
What to make of the first weekend of the 2016 NCAA Tournament? If there is one thing we witnessed over those four days (six including the play-in games) that can come close to being a fair generalization, it is that this year’s tourney has no one-size-fits-all quality to it. Maybe the only conclusion one can come to is there is no conclusion.
In a college basketball year that has been defined by unpredictability, we dare say that the host of downright thrilling conference races is a story developing late that is also becoming a signature mark of this season.
This year’s NCAA Tournament has not brought us many true upsets, but it will bring us a Sweet 16 full of history, though.
