Men's basketball - 2021 March Madness Selection Sunday (Selection show on CB beginning at 4:00 PM MT; #5 seed Buffs open up against Georgetown)

[AztecBuff]

Know we already have a bracketology thread, but thought I'd start this thread for Buff-specific and general selection discussion, with the selection show, to be shown on CBS, less than an hour and a half away from beginning,

Official bracket (assume it will be filled in as the show proceeds.) - https://www.ncaa.com/march-madness-live/bracket

For what it's worth (assume not much, at least to the level of individual games?), here's Andy Katz's last PREDICTED bracket - https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketbal...cketology-march-madness-predictions-andy-katz
(It has the Buffs in a bracket where Illinois is the #1 seed, with CU as the #5 seed facing #12 Georgetown in the 1st round, with the winner facing the winner of a #4-13 seed 1st round match-up between Purdue and Liberty.)

Fun way to end the pre-Madness season, an OT Illinois-tOSU game delaying the start of the show!
