Happy Selection Sunday! Get your brackets ready because the NCAA Tournament field will be announced today. Here is The Sports Bank‘s latest Bracketology. I have more than held my own the past couple of years against ESPN’s Joe Lunardi and with my extreme college hoops nerdom, plan to do so again this year.

Butler, back to back National runners-up, not headed to NCAA Tournament
March 4, 2012 By Leave a Comment
As hot a coaching commodity as Brad Stevens is, his stock will decrease just a tiny bit in value this year.
It’s official now, the Butler Bulldogs, who made it all the way to the national title game both last year, and in 2010, will not be in the 2012 NCAA Tournament. The Valparaiso Crusaders (20-11) eliminated Butler (20-14) tonight in the Horizon League tournament, the Bulldogs only way in this March.

I am a huge college basketball nerd. I know it and if you are a frequent visitor to the Sports Bank, you know it as well. So much in fact, that I create my own bracketology which is seventy times nerdier than making a NBA mock draft.
In my inaugural year of entering this hallowed ground of geeks, my bracketology more than held its own ESPN’s “expert” bracketologist Joe Lunardi; a feat that I consider to be a huge accomplishment.
This year, there is more to take into account with the NCAA expanding the field to 68 teams. That means there will now be four play-in games held in Dayton. Two of those games will feature the final four at-large bids battling to be in the Field of 64. Same will go for the last four automatic qualifiers. Be sure to check back every week for updates on my Field of 68.

Follow paulmbanksAre the Michigan Wolverines going to make the NCAA Tournament?
March 10, 2011 By Leave a Comment
One of the bubble teams this year is the Michigan Wolverines out of the Big Ten. The Wolverines have had a great season considering the talent they lost from last year and the talent they (presumably) lack this year.
But, is it enough to get them dancing? Let’s take a look at what they have to offer.
Michigan will enter the Big Ten Tournament as the No. 4 seed, going up against the No. 5 seed, Illinois. They also boast an overall record of 19-12 and 9-9 record in Big Ten play, which puts them at a tie for fourth place with Illinois and Michigan State.
