The Road to The Final Four is officially underway.

But as the NCAA Tournament bracket is revealed on Selection Sunday, a titan is missing from the coverage on CBS: Greg Gumbel.

However, the presence of the longtime host of the Selection Sunday bracket reveal show was still felt on Sunday as CBS opened its show with a tribute to Gumbel.

Gumbel, who died in December at 78 years old from cancer, had anchored the network's Selection Sunday show and NCAA Tournament coverage for 25 years.
