Selection Sunday 2016: What time does the NCAA Tournament Selection Show start?

A look at what time the March Madness Selection Show will be getting started on Selection Sunday

We were just treated to one of the wildest college basketball regular seasons in recent memory, but now with the conference tournaments mostly out of the way, it’s time to get set for the NCAA Tournament, which of course starts with the March Madness Selection Show.

Following the conclusion of the Big Ten Tournament on Sunday afternoon, it will then be time to find out who is in the NCAA Tournament field. 68 teams will all have earned the right to potentially call themselves national champions. That’s the ultimate prize in the game and watching these teams get there is one of the most exciting things in all of sports each year.

Now some teams have clinched automatic bids by way of winning their conference tournament, but there will be some teams on Sunday that will be seriously biting their nails as one of the bubble teams. While they may have had a productive season, it might not have been productive enough to the committee to warrant them getting a spot with the rest. Selection Sunday can be a stressful time for these programs.

Whatever the case may be, though, Sunday night we will know definitively who is in and who is out. However, there is a bit of a difference this year.

As Selection Sunday has become more and more of a high-profile event throughout the years, it will now be a two-hour show to break down all the teams that are in and out. It will still air on CBS as usual, but it will start at 5:30 p.m. ET and will run until 7:30 p.m. ET.

So, with the show just hours away, who do you think will be in and who will be left out of the fold?
