Last week, we mentioned that the Double-A Zone would be offering live blogs from this week’s mock selections for the Division I Men’s Basketball Championship on Wednesday and Thursday. We will also have coverage from the women’s mock selections on Friday.

If you’re interested in how the selection process works for the NCAA’s highest-profile event, make sure to tune in to the Double-A Zone throughout the day on Wednesday, as we will offer a look inside the room, and describe the nature of conversations that occur during the mock exercise. We will also answer any and all questions that you submit about the process.

But first, we wanted to check in with NCAA President Myles Brand during his weekly podcast to gauge his excitement for the second year of mock selections at the national office.

In this edition of Mondays With Myles, Dr. Brand says there are misconceptions about how teams are selected to the tournament field, and the mock selections provide an accurate representation of what really happens on that special Sunday in March.
