SB Nation Bracket War Room 2016: Wednesday a.m. session

The SB Nation Bracket War Room is LIVE to help answer all your bracket questions. We’ll be around all week long with a new post each day. Drop by so we can try and help you win your bracket pool this year!

Welcome to the SB Nation Bracket War Room! SB Nation has run a fantasy football live chat during the NFL season called the Fantasy War Room. The notion behind it was to put our experts at your disposal to help you answer those burning questions for your fantasy football lineups.

Selection Sunday is currently going on, which means the 2016 NCAA basketball tournament tips off in two short days. It only seemed fitting to carry the "War Room" idea over to bracket advice. You have numerous brackets, and plenty of bragging rights and other assorted "things" on the line.

This chat is meant to provide you with all the advice you can handle from our college basketball experts. We will have a mix of talent providing advice this week. Some days you’ll get a mid-major expert, other days a major conference expert and other days a national writer who covers a little bit of everything.

All questions will be answered by the user name “SB Nation Bracket Advice.” Others are welcome to chime in, but that username represents the “official” SB Nation advice.

If this is your first time commenting at SB Nation, you have two quick options to register:

1) On the top right side of the page, you’ll see Log In and Sign Up. Click on Sign Up.
2) Scroll to the bottom of the page. You’ll see an option that says “Something to say? Choose one of these options to log in.”

Asking follow-up questions
It’s fairly straight forward to post a question. If you get an answer and have a question about that answer, please hit the reply button, rather than posting a new comment at the bottom.
