The last few conference tournaments are wrapping up across the nation in college basketball, so now it's time to settle in for the Selection Sunday festivities as the 2023 NCAA Tournament festivities are just about ready to commence later this week. That's right, the most magical time of the year is officially upon us, with a fresh 68-team bracket set to be unveiled as everyone gears up for what should be another exciting edition of March Madness.

The NCAA Tournament will come to life during the Selection Sunday show, but before you pencil in your picks and chicken scratch that bracket, the teams have to be chosen. As usual, there will be 32 teams that automatically qualify for the field via winning their respective conference tournaments, but more than half the field -- 36 teams, to be exact -- will be hand-selected by the NCAA committee.

That is why the hub-bub is made each year about Selection Sunday, the day (which, you guessed it, falls on a Sunday) in which the field of 68 teams is unveiled. 2023 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship Selection Show is at 6 p.m. ET Sunday. Here is information on how you can tune in via streaming or cable.
