Among the questions that will be answered on Sunday is how many ACC teams will earn a No. 1 seed, with Virginia, Duke and North Carolina all with impressive resumes? Will Gonzaga still get a No. 1 seed despite losing in the WCC Tournament, and what bubble team was knocked out indirectly with the WCC claiming one more berth than expected?

The 68-team field will be split into four regions, with the last four spots up for grabs in the First Four games in Dayton, televised by truTV on Tuesday and Wednesday. Once pared down to 64 teams, the NCAA Tournament will begin in earnest on Thursday, with television coverage split between CBS, TNT, TBS, and truTV.
