It's the most wonderful time of the year, baby!

NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament selection Sunday is tomorrow, and there has already been some simply incredible basketball being played in conference tournaments. Major upsets taking place in the Big East and Pac 10, and while I won't go into details of many, I am wondering if anyone else watched the epic and historic Syracuse victory over UConn in 6 (!) OTs on Thursday.

In the history of NCAA basketball, there has only ever been one game that went to 7 OTs, and that was played in 1981, and the only other two 6 OT games were played in 1953 and 1955. Amazingly, Syracuse had to play another overtime game the next night (and they won).

If the stuff going on in the conference tournaments is any indication of the NCAA tourney, it will be fantastic. I think there are between 10-12 teams with a legit shot of winning it all, the most I can ever recall.

UConn, Pitt, Louisville, Memphis, UNC, Duke, Oklahoma, Michigan State, Wake Forest, and Kansas I think all have a legit shot of taking it.
