Fans far and wide will tune in to CBS on Sunday evening to watch the always-dramatic NCAA tournament selection show.


CBS is hosting the Selection Sunday bracket reveal at 6 p.m. ET on Sunday, just moments after the final game of the regular season—the Big Ten championship game between the Ohio State Buckeyes and Wisconsin Badgers, which starts at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS—to reveal who's in and who's not.

Greg Gumbel, Greg Anthony, Doug Gottlieb and Seth Davis will host the selection show. The show will be available on CBS’ network channel, and it will be simulcast on the NCAA’s March Madness Live page and the March Madness Live mobile app. The show starts at 6 p.m. ET and will run an hour.

At 7 p.m. ET, a more in-depth analysis of the bracket will air on TruTV with Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Rex Chapman.

One of the first things announced in the selection show has traditionally been the overall No. 1 seed. Early this morning, SB Nation bracketologist Chris Dobbertean made the case for that honor to go to the Louisville Cardinals over the Indiana Hoosiers. Dobbertean made his argument based on Louisville's storm-from-behind 78-61 victory in the Big East title game Saturday against the Syracuse Orange.
