Selection Monday coming right up

The NCAA tournament brackets will be unveiled tomorrow at 4 p.m. PDT/7 p.m. EDT. Can't wait! Check either ESPN or ESPN3.

More tournament wrap-ups:

Hampton defeated Howard to take the MEAC title.

Utah used an overtime to beat TCU for the Mountain West Conference championship.

In the Great West Conference, it was Chicago State over North Dakota for the auto bid.

Prairie View had to rally to beat Southern for the SWAC crown.

UC Davis held off Cal Poly to take the Big West title.

Green Bay captured the Horizon League championship.

Montana squeaked out a victory over Portland State in the Big Sky Conference.

It was James Madison over Delaware for the CAA title.

Gardner-Webb won the Big South tournament, defeating Liberty.

Northern Iowa dominated Missouri State to become MVC champs.

In the Big 12, Baylor Coach Kim Mulkey says Destiny Williams was the key to their success in taking the title.

Whew!

In the department of extreme lameness, Southern University announced it would not accept a WNIT bid due to financial struggles. Look at the reaction on the face of senior guard Hannah Kador in the picture. What a sad situation for her and the other seniors on the team. If it were the men's team, I bet the school would miraculously find some money for the trip.

ESPNW catches up with Louisiana Tech Coach Teresa Weatherspoon.

Strange situation in the National Christian Schools Athletic Association championship game yesterday in Pennsylvania: both teams were disqualified.

I assume that's an auto-bid to the WNIT, since the Great West doesn't have an NCAA auto-bid.

Great West doesn't have an auto-bid to the NCAA tourney yet, and I don't think they have one to the WNIT yet either.
