This season, the 4 games across two days will be played in the Dayton Arena for the second consecutive year (we have at least one more year guaranteed in Dayton for the First Four according to the NCAA). The games are officially referred to as the first round of the 2012 NCAA tournament and will kick off with Mississippi Valley State taking on Western Kentucky University on March 13th, 2012 at 7:00 PM ET and will be shown on truTV.

This will be the second year that the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament features 68 teams. The new first round of play is referred to as the “First Four” and will feature the four lowest seeded at-large teams and four lowest automatic qualifying teams in four games played over two days at the Dayton Arena. Although we will know who the 31 automatic NCAA Tournament qualifying teams are before the Selection Sunday broadcast, the 37 at-large teams, specific brackets, and team matchups will not be announced by the NCAA prior to the show airing.

Who Picks the NCAA Tournament Teams?

The NCAA Selection Committee is charged with picking the tournament field for 2012 March Madness. The committee is made up of various NCAA conference commissioners and athletic directors and spend the week prior to the selections sequestered while putting together the bracket. Although many tournament seeds are firm before the start of conference tournament play, the committee takes into account team changing injuries and late-season performance while putting together the best bracket possible. No matter the year, there will be at least a few teams that feel like they are “snubbed” by the selection committee, but will receive invitations to the 2012 NIT.

When is the 2012 Selection Sunday Show on TV?

The 2012 Selection Sunday television show will be shown on CBS Sports at 6PM Eastern Time (don’t forget about the U.S. time change this weekend if you work strange hours on Saturday night!). The show is scheduled to be played after the 2012 Big Ten Tournament Championship concludes.

What is Selection Sunday?

All of that information is nice, but for the new college basketball fan may not know what Selection Sunday is! This is the term used to refer to the one hour telecast shown on CBS Sports to announce the NCAA tournament schedule and seeds by the NCAA. Although shown on CBS, the other major sports networks will typically provide either parallel or post-coverage of the tournament bracket after the official announcements of the 2012 brackets are made.

Who Gets Automatic Bids to the NCAA Tournament?

30 of the 68 teams playing in the 2012 NCAA Tournament will earn automatic bids to the tournament by winning their conference tournament. The Ivy League regular season champion earns that conference’s automatic bid, though in 2011 there was a one game playoff required for the tournament champion to be awarded (ie a mini-tourney J). Although the automatically qualifying teams know that they are in the tournament, they do not know their see, region, opponents, or locations of game play until the NCAA announces the brackets on Selection Sunday.

2012 March Madness At-Large Bids

Every season, the at-large bids to the NCAA Tournament create a fair amount of debate. For the second year in a row, the number of at-large bids has been increased to 37 (from 34) teams. Before 2011, the NCAA featured a “Play-in” game when the total number of teams in the tournament was set to 65. The Selection Committee uses a variety of factors to select the at-large teams to include quality wins, losses, strength of schedule, wins against top-50 RPI opponents, team’s RPI, ranking, and performance over the course of the second-half of the season.

Where Can You Get a NCAA Tournament Bracket?

Once the NCAA  Tournament brackets have been released, brackets can be downloaded from a number of sports websites. A comprehensive listing of free NCAA brackets is posted on this website as well as a blank NCAA tournament bracket if filling out your bracketology before the tournament selections are released.

The 2012 CIT Bracket will consist of six overall rounds with the top 4 seeds receiving byes in the tournament. All six rounds of the tournament will be played on the campus locations of the higher seed and the tournament will have 23 total games played this season. For the fourth time the championship game of the 2012 CIT will be shown on the Fox College Sports network with Dave Baker and Kyle Macy anchoring the CIT coverage.

How Does CIT Team Selection Work?

The CollegeInsider.com tournament selects or invites teams to play that do not get invited to the NCAA or NIT Tournaments. The tournament was established in 2009 and the 2012 edition will be the fourth time it has been held. The previous three tournaments selected teams from 20 different conferences and reinforced the ideal of the tournament originators to invite teams no part of BCS or the power 6 conferences. As a result, many teams that would not get the chance for postseason play unless they win their respective conference tournament, get a shot with the CIT.

2012 CIT First Round Bracket

March 13-15, 2012

There will be 12 first round games played during the 2012 CollegeInsider.com Tournament this season. To minimize the amount of travel time and classes missed by players on the participating teams, the games will be arranged geographically this season.
