March Madness Selection Sunday: Live Updates on NCAA Tournament Matchups, Bracket
The NCAA tournament field was revealed at 6 p.m. EST on Sunday, March 11 on TBS during the 2018 NCAA March Madness Selection Show.
You can check out all of the teams that automatically qualified for the tournament here. Murray State was the first team to secure its bid to the Big Dance by winning the Ohio Valley Tournament, and Michigan was the first team from a major conference to lock up a spot by defeating Purdue in the Big Ten Tournament Championship.
The last team to steal a bid into the tournament was Davidson. The Wildcats knocked off Rhode Island in the A-10 Tournament Championship Sunday to secure a spot in the Big Dance, and make the bubble a bit more difficult to navigate. The Selection Committee said Notre Dame was the team that was bumped out because of Davidson.
Below, check out the full breakdown of the matchups for the First Four games and the Round of 64. Check out the full list of teams that made the tournament here and see whether a team was an automatic qualifier or earned an at-large bid.
The ACC has the most teams in the tournament with nine (Virginia, Duke, North Carolina, Clemson, North Carolina State, Virginia Tech Florida State, Miami and Syracuse).
The biggest snubs of this year's tournament include Oklahoma State, USC, Saint Mary's, Louisville and Notre Dame. Syracuse claimed the final spot in the bracket for at-large teams and will face Arizona State in the final First Four game, for a chance to play as a No. 11 seed against No. 6 TCU in the Midwest Region.
