Where to watch men’s Selection Sunday today: Time, channel, free stream
@Source: syracuse.com
The madness begins today. Selection Sunday is here, meaning we’ll have the full NCAA Tournament bracket a little after 6 p.m. ET.
Selection Sunday will air nationally on CBS, and can be streamed on fuboTV (free trial).
Here’s what you need to know:
What: Selection Sunday
Who: NCAA men’s Division I basketball
When: Sunday, Mar. 16, 2025
Time: 6 p.m. ET
Channel finder: DirecTV, Verizon Fios, Cox, Xfinity, Spectrum, Optimum
What are the differences between the streaming services?
fuboTV is a live TV streaming service focused on live sports, including U.S. and international soccer, the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and more. It also includes its own fubo Sports Networks with exclusive programming. It offers 212 channels starting at $64.99 (for one month, then $84.99), includes unlimited DVR, and streams on most devices. Right now you can try fuboTV free.
DirecTV Stream is comparable to FuboTV, as it provides similar channels and functionalities. Their basic package, priced at $86.99 per month with a free trial, includes just over 90 live TV channels. You can explore all of DirecTV Stream’s channel packages on their website.
Paramount Plus is an over-the-top streaming service from Paramount, which includes content from Paramount-owned brands like CBS, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and more. Many Paramount-owned TV shows appear the day after broadcast on the service, and it is the exclusive home of Paramount Plus originals, like Yellowstone spinoff “1883.” It also airs live NFL games and starts at $7.99 per month.
Here’s a recent college basketball story from the Associated Press:
Colorado State’s winning streak is at 10, and the Rams are headed to the NCAA Tournament after winning the Mountain West’s automatic bid with a victory over Boise State. Colorado State was considered a fairly unlikely at-large candidate. So that means the Rams now take a spot away from another bubble team. That team might actually be Boise State, which was in the field according to some projections. One of the big questions on Selection Sunday is whether the Mountain West will get five bids or four — or perhaps even three.
A look at the NCAA Tournament bubble picture:
Rams on a roll
Colorado State’s winning streak is at 10, and the Rams are headed to the NCAA Tournament after winning the Mountain West’s automatic bid with a victory over Boise State on Saturday. Since Colorado State was considered a fairly unlikely at-large candidate, that means the Rams now take a spot away from another bubble team.
That team might actually be Boise State, which was in the field according to some projections. One of the big questions on Selection Sunday is whether the Mountain West will get five bids or four — or perhaps even three.
No. 16 Memphis held on for a one-point win over Tulane in the AAC Tournament, and Virginia Commonwealth advanced in the Atlantic 10. If either of those teams lose, it will enter the at-large pool, which would be bad news for the rest of the bubble.
UC San Diego — another potential at-large candidate — gave the bubble a bit of a reprieve by winning the automatic bid in the Big West.
The experts say ...
ESPN’s last four in: Vanderbilt, San Diego State, Xavier, Indiana.
Sports Illustrated’s last four in: Arkansas, San Diego State, Indiana, Boise State.
ESPN’s first four out: Boise State, North Carolina, Texas, Ohio State.
Sports Illustrated’s first four out: Texas, North Carolina, Xavier, UC Irvine.
Only two games matter Sunday for bubble purposes: Memphis against Alabama-Birmingham in the AAC final, and VCU against George Mason for the Atlantic 10 bid.
Automatic bids so far
SIU Edwardsville (Ohio Valley), Omaha (Summit), Lipscomb (Atlantic Sun), High Point (Big South), Drake (Missouri Valley), Wofford (Southern), Troy (Sun Belt), Robert Morris (Horizon), UNC-Wilmington (Coastal Athletic), St. Francis, Pa. (Northeast), Gonzaga (WCC), McNeese (Southland), American (Patriot), Montana (Big Sky), Bryant (America East), Norfolk State (MEAC), Colorado State (Mountain West), Houston (Big 12), St. John’s (Big East), Akron (MAC), Mount St. Mary’s (MAAC), Duke (ACC), Liberty (Conference USA), UC San Diego (Big West), Alabama State (SWAC), Grand Canyon (WAC).
Automatic bids at stake Sunday
AAC (Memphis vs. UAB)
Atlantic 10 (VCU vs. George Mason)
Big Ten (Michigan vs. Wisconsin)
Ivy (Yale vs. Cornell)
SEC (Florida vs. Tennessee)
