10 Things You Can Expect To Happen On Selection Sunday

The 2015-16 college basketball season has been filled with plenty of parity which should lead to a great 2016 NCAA tournament.

Here are 10 things we can expect to happen on 2016 Selection Sunday.

The major sports networks hire experts to predict and project what will happen in their respective sports. For my money, Lunardi is the best of any of them at what he does, as he's close to perfect every year on not only predicting which teams will make the tournament, but where they will be seeded.

The Spartans are the best team in the country when Denzel Valentine is healthy. He missed a few weeks earlier in the season which caused them to hit a little slide, but assuming they don't get upset in the quarters of the Big 10 tournament, Tom Izzo's club will end up with a No. 1 seed.

Charles Barkley is more than qualified to cover the NBA, as he was a dominant player in the league and has been around it for three decades.

Every Selection Sunday there is one region that stands out among the rest. One of the No. 1 seeds will get slighted by the committee and end up in a region with tough two through four seeds. Don't expect this year to be any different.

College basketball hasn't caught on as much as NBA, MLB and NFL in the DFS community, but expect the tournament to be a popular play. It's a lot easier for players when they know the 68 teams they'll be choosing from and can do their research prior to the tournament.

One of the yearly traditions for Selection Sunday is for college basketball experts to get on TV and make their predictions for each game as the bracket comes out. Going off of history, everyone will be wrong despite their expert status.

It doesn't matter how hard the selection committee tries, they can never satisfy everyone. This year won't be any different as there will be some feelings hurt on Sunday night.
