March Madness 2021: Time, TV, how to stream Selection Sunday NCAA Tournament bracket reveal show
Jace Evans
It's Selection Sunday!
Five conference tournaments separate us from the start of the NCAA Tournament bracket reveal show, where we will find out the 68 teams that will take part in this year's men's college basketball tournament, as well as their seedings.
The 2021 NCAA Tournament brings plenty of intrigue. For starters, it will be the first March Madness we've seen since 2019. The onset of the coronavirus pandemic resulted in the cancelation of the 2020 tournament. The impact of COVID-19 will also see this NCAA Tournament staged in (mostly) one location as everyone heads to Indianapolis.
But first, we must find out the teams — especially the 37 teams that have not earned automatic berths by winning their conference tournaments — who will be participating.
