On Saturday, the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Selection Committee did … what exactly?
Chair Mark Hollis, the athletics director at Michigan State, revealed the top 16 seeds. This made for a bit of “news” for a TV show leading into CBS’s coverage of the Kentucky-Alabama game.
UK was 12th overall, a No. 3 seed, in the early rankings while Louisville was a No. 2 seed at seventh overall.
But, of course, these 16 teams could change position or drop out of the grouping before Selection Sunday (March 12).
So what was the purpose of this?
