2014 NCAA Tournament #MockSelection Over In Indy #pcbb

Leave a comment

The 2014 NCAA Tournament Mock Selection took place over the last 2 days in Indianapolis and some national writers got a chance to hear how the selection committee thinks and put together their own mock bracket. It was very interesting following this last night and today to see how the seeding and selections are done. Here is a recap of the event via the writer’s tweets. Despite PC’s recent downturn, the writer still had them in (last 4 in) as a 12 seed.
