We finally made it. After 4½ months of basketball, the field of potential net-cutters will be whittled to 68 teams Sunday night and the brackets can officially be released.
But it won't be easy.
There are still plenty of questions, both at the top and bottom of the bracket. Fortunately for bubble teams and the committee, all of the potential bid-stealer situations have been resolved, so the group of 10 committee members in New York City can spend the entire day finalizing the bracket without worrying about available spots shrinking.
