As the minutes tick away until the NCAA Tournament pairings are announced (6:30 p.m. ET Sunday, CBS), some players will see their dreams realized, others will see theirs crushed, and still others will be forced to sit and ponder, awaiting their fate.
Our third annual Guide to Selection Sunday will help direct you through the frenzy of this weekend. First, we let you know where every contender stands entering the last conference tourney games. Then, to help you fill out your bracket after the tournament pairings are announced, we have a rundown of each tourney team's strengths and weaknesses--and what type of opponent it should watch out for. You'll be able to compare your picks to those made by our expert, Mike DeCourcy, in next week's big NCAA Tournament Preview issue, which also will include TSN's 2001 awards.
