UPDATE (3/12, 6:02 p.m. ET): View the full NCAA tournament bracket here.

It’s NCAA tournament Selection Sunday, and 68 teams will soon find out whether or not they’ll be playing in the Big Dance. Some heavy hitters, including Kansas, UNC, and UCLA, failed out of their respective conference tournaments, but that may not prevent them from grabbing No. 1 seeds in this year’s field of 68.

The Selection Sunday show thankfully is 30 minutes shorter than last year’s marathon monstrosity, and apparently the full bracket will be announced in quicker fashion than previous years. CBS yet again has the TV coverage, and you can stream the show live at NCAA.com.

One of the big storylines heading into the selection show is the fate of Gonzaga, which won 32 games this year on the way to the WCC tournament title. Duke tore through the ACC tournament, the first team to win four games in four days at the conference tilt, so the Blue Devils could steal a No. 1 line from the Bulldogs in this year’s Dance. We shall see.

How to watch:

When: 5:30 p.m. ET
TV: CBS
Online streaming: CBSSN, NCAA.com
