The social scene from the Men's Mock Selection NCAA.com
CHAMPS
PRESENTED BY The mock selection exercise is taking place in Indianapolis and mimics the process that the NCAA’s actual 10-member committee will use except for a few differences. The main difference is the mock exercise takes place over two days, while the selection committee members will convene on Wednesday before the tournament and then work for the next five days on the 68-team field. Also, the mock committee’s process is expedited when necessary for time purposes. Stay with NCAA.com on Thursday and Friday for coverage of the 2015 Mock Selection.
