For fans of teams on the NCAA men’s basketball tournament bubble, Sunday had to be one of the longest days of the year.

When all 65 teams were announced, the bubbles were burst for Davidson, St. Mary’s and Penn State. The NCAA tournament selection committee is always second-guessed for the No. 1 seeds and of course the teams put in the tournament and the teams left out.

It would have been great to see Stephen Curry try to duplicate his magic from last year, but losing to the College of Charleston in the Southern Conference tournament semifinals, sealed the Wildcats’ fate of playing in the NIT.

This year, there were no real controversial selections, while the teams headed to the NIT would have liked to be put in the “Big Dance” they needed to win that one more game to catch the committee’s attention. And those coaches while saying in public their teams did enough on the court, they know privately, it was the right decision.

The decision to give the University of Louisville the top seed in the tournament was correct because heading into Saturday’s action, it was between U of L and North Carolina. With a healthy Ty Lawson playing in the ACC tournament, the Tar Heels could have won the title and claimed the top overall seed.

It was wise of Roy Williams and staff to sit Lawson during the “meaningless” tournament and get him ready for the NCAA tournament. The only reason Williams could comfortably make that decision was the Tar Heels were not only guaranteed its spot in the NCAA tournament, but a No. 1 seed as well.

The other two No. 1 seeds were understandable because Pittsburgh and Connecticut have been solid teams all season and played in the tough Big East.

The Memphis Tigers and coach John Calipari were hoping for a top seed, but winning the Conference USA regular season and tournament titles, just were not enough to sway the committee’s votes to give them the fourth No. 1 seed. Instead, the committee made the Tigers the top No. 2 seed and shipped them out West with Connecticut.

While the play-in game will get the tournament started tonight, here are some possible answers to the questions you may have while filling out your NCAA tournament bracket.

Which No. 1 seed will lose first?

The answer really depends on the health of Lawson. During the ACC tournament, the Tar Heels struggled with their point guard sitting on bench. But if all indications are correct, then Lawson will be close to 100 percent for the tournament.

In the NCAA tournament, when a high seed is beaten by a lower seed, it is generally never luck which allows the upset to happen. Instead, it’s about matchups. Davidson’s run to the Midwest Regional finals was made possible because Gonzaga, Georgetown and Wisconsin lacked the guard play to stymie Curry.

The No. 1 seed which will find itself on the sidelines before the others will be Pittsburgh. The Panthers have a good team, but with Xavier, Villanova and Duke looming on the horizon, Pittsburgh will be knocked out before reaching the Final Four.

Which lower seed will become this year’s Davidson?

There are a lot of lower seeded teams that on paper can make some noise in the tournament. Butler was a top 20 team all year, but only earned a No. 9 seed in the South, Clemson was unbeaten before heading into ACC play and is seeded seventh in the South, Maryland is the No. 10 seed in the West and West Virginia is a No. 6 seed in the Midwest.

Seeing any of those teams knocking off some higher seeded teams would not surprise many people, but this year’s Davidson will be Western Kentucky.

The Hilltoppers were a surprise last year, when they advanced to the West Regional semifinals before losing to UCLA by 10. WKU was aided in its run last year when it beat Drake in overtime and knocked off San Diego, who had upset Connecticut in overtime.

This year, WKU won’t need help to make a deep run in this year’s tourney because among its victories - Louisville.

Who will make the Final Four and walk away with the championship?

Louisville will make its way through the Midwest Region, Memphis will come out of the West, North Carolina will win the South, while Villanova will earn its trip out of the East.

In the Final Four, Louisville will edge Memphis and North Carolina will stop Villanova to set up a great championship game.

At the end, the Tar Heels will cut down the nets after beating the Cardinals.
