The conference tournaments in college basketball have wrapped up around the country and Selection Sunday has arrived. Ladies and gentlemen -- March Madness is finally here! The 2022 NCAA Tournament comes to life during the Selection Sunday show, but before they figure out the field -- and before you bust out your (sure-to-win-the-office-pool this year, right?) bracket -- you must first figure out who the heck you're making picks on this year.
Such is why the hubbub is made each year about Selection Sunday, the day (which, you guessed it, falls on a Sunday) in which the field of 68 teams is unveiled. 2022 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship Selection Show is at 6 p.m. ET Sunday. Here is information on how you can tune in via streaming or cable.
