Waiting for the bracket

Nothing much to do except wait until next Monday (March 14) when the NCAA announces the bracket. Watch the Selection Show on ESPN at 4:00 PT.

Until then, you can keep track of who's won their conference tourney and an automatic bid to the NCAA tourney here: Championship Week Results.

As for the remaining 32 at-large bids, there's no telling for sure except for the dozen or so obviously top teams.

As of now (Tuesday evening):

• Stanford's RPI (Ratings Power Index), as reported by the NCAA, places us at #10. The RPI is a major factor, but not the only one, in the NCAA selection process.
• The media (AP Top 25 Poll) ranks Stanford at #13.
• The coaches (USA TODAY Coaches Poll) rank Stanford at #16.
• Charlie Creme predicts Stanford will be a #4 seed, which would make us one of the 16 teams eligible to host the 1st and 2nd rounds of the tournament.
• Stanford Athletics predicts, "We expect to receive a top-16 seed and host 1st & 2nd Round games at Maples Pavilion on March 19 & 21," and offers the opportunity for season ticket members to reserve their seats now.
