It’s the day the college basketball world has been waiting a year for, their national holiday. Selection Sunday has arrived and plenty is still undetermined.
Alabama and prized freshman Brandon Miller should get the top overall seed courtesy of their 18-5 Quad 1 and 2 record, ninth-ranked strength of schedule and dominance of the SEC.Getty Images The Commodores’ NET ranking of 79, however, would be the second-lowest to receive an at-large bid, after Rutgers got in at No. 80 last March, and their three sub-Quad 2 losses are a detriment.
The three expected at-large teams the Friars beat, it should be noted, are Connecticut, Marquette and Creighton, high-caliber opponents all in the top 16 of the NET.

After FDU won just four games a year ago, the Knights, under first-year coach Tobin Anderson, will be thrilled to be part of the festivities.
