Bring on March Madness.
Thirty-two teams approach Selection Sunday having already qualified for the NCAA Tournament as conference winners and will not have to worry about their fate.
Others will be waiting to learn if they make the 68-team field.
The one-hour selection show begins at 6 p.m. ET on CBS and is also available on fuboTV (free trial), Paramount+, Sling, NCAA.com, and other live TV streaming services.
Oakland defeated Milwaukee 83-76 in the Horizon League championship game on Tuesday, ensuring that at least one in-state team will advance. Michigan State is expected to extend its tournament record to 26 games, though it is likely to be one of the last teams in as a predicted No. 10 seed.
Meanwhile, Michigan will not be among the 38 teams to receive an at-large bid. It will miss the tournament for the second consecutive year and will have a new coach next season after firing Juwan Howard on Friday.
Once the bracket is unveiled, host Adam Zucker and analysts Clark Kellogg, Jay Wright, and Seth Davis will analyze the matches and gather comments from the teams that made the cut. Committee Chair Charles McClelland will also be on the broadcast to discuss the bracket.
