"It's different than any other day. You wake up and, from my 12 years, I never needed the alarm clock. The adrenaline is different. For the first time, there's a finite deadline. You know that we have to get this right," former NCAA executive vice president for championships and alliances Greg Shaheen told ESPN.com. "It's controlled chaos. You know what the end of the day is going to bring, so it's a question of managing the time between now and then."
Both ESPN Bracketologist Joe Lunardi and Jerry Palm at CBS projected Louisville, Gonzaga, Indiana and Kansas as the No. 1 seeds at the start of Selection Sunday. Lunardi named Boise State, Middle Tennessee, Ole Miss and La Salle as the last four teams to make the Big Dance while Palm tapped St. Mary's, La Salle, Tennessee and Mississippi as the last four in.
