On November 5, there were 341 different schools competing at the Division I level. In a just a few days, on March 16, that number will be reduced to 65. And the most exhilarating games college basketball has to offer will commence.

Conference tournaments are wrapping up, and Selection Sunday is, well, on Sunday. I’ve chosen some teams from each conference that I believe have a shot at being a part of the 65 team field announced on Sunday.

After pleading guilty to participating in a dog-fighting conspiracy in which he took part in the murders of numerous dogs, Vick received a 23-month jail sentence. When Vick is released from jail in October of next year, many questions will surface regarding whether or not he should be allowed back in the NFL.

The tournament was two rounds of which the second was best of three games. The seniors swept both the girls’ and
