Selection Sunday is here. In the last week of conference tournament play, high-profile teams were upset, like Tennessee and Duke. Other teams like St. John's and Pitt seemingly played their way into the NCAA tournament, only to have their at-large bids possibly lost to bid stealers that won their conference tournament.
The number of bids available to teams on the NCAA tournament bubble has gotten a lot smaller because of Oregon, NC State and others clinching auto-bids.
Here is my last NCAA tournament bracket projection.

West: No. 10 Mississippi State vs. No. 10 Oklahoma
