Selection Sunday & Monday

The two The Selection Sunday and Monday took place this week for the NCAA Men's and Women's basketball tournaments.

The men's first round games will take place on March 19 and 20. The NCAA men's final will take place on Monday, April 8 in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.

The women's first round games will begin March 23 and 24. The NCAA women's final will be on Tuesday, April 9 at New Orleans Arena in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The two men's teams that I care about are Michigan and Duke. Michigan received a #4 seed in the South bracket. They will play South Dakota State Thursday at 7:15 p.m. EST at The Palace of Auburn Hills in Auburn Hills, Michigan.

Duke was given a #2 seed in the Midwest bracket. They will play Albany in the first round Friday at 12:15 p.m. EST at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

I would love to see both Michigan and Duke go deep into the tournament. Hopefully there won't be early round exits.

Unlike the men's basketball tournament, I will probably watch all of the games I can. I do like watching the women's tournament more then the men's. The women's teams I care about are Baylor, Notre Dame, Duke Michigan, UConn, Penn State and Iowa.

Connecticut will start the first round on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. EST at the Gample Pavilion in Storrs, Connecticut. UConn will play Idaho.

Duke, a #2 seed, will meet Hampton at home Sunday at 12 p.m. EST at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, North Carolina.

Notre Dame, #1 seed, meets Tennessee-Martin in the first round at 5 p.m. EST at the Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa Sunday.

Penn State, #3 seed, will play their first round game Sunday against Cal Poly at 5 p.m. EST at the Maravich Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Baylor is the #1 overall seed. They will play Prairie View A&M Sunday at 7:30 p.m. EST at the Ferrell Center in Waco, Texas.

Michigan, a #8 seed, will meet Villanova in the first round at the Maples Pavilion in Stanford, California on Sunday at 7:30 p.m. EST.

Iowa seeded #9 will play Miami at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa Sunday at 7:30 p.m. EST.
