Dancing days are here again for the Akron Zips.
For the second year in a row, Akron is in March Madness after winning the Mid-American Conference Tournament on Saturday.
Last year, Akron was a No. 14 seed, losing 77-60 to Creighton, the No. 3 seed.
That Zips team was fronted by eventual NBA draft pick Enrique Freeman. This year's Zips team features MAC Player of the Year Nate Johnson.
Here's what you need to know to watch Selection Sunday today:
The 68-team bracket for the NCAA Tournament on the men's side is being revealed starting at 6 p.m. ET on CBS.
The women's NCAA Tournament bracket will also be revealed on Sunday. The broadcast is set for 8 p.m. ET on ESPN.
Games for 2025 March Madness begin Tuesday, March 18, with the first set of First Four games in Dayton, Ohio. First-round games will begin two days later, on Thursday, March 20, across the country at various host sites.
Following Saturday's games, ESPN and it's Bracketology projection predicts Akron will be a No. 13 seed and play in the West quadrant. The predicted matchup for the Zips is Michigan. The Wolverines are playing against Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game today.
Ken Pomeroy runs the college basketball statistical archive at kenpom.com for all 363 Division I teams. As of Sunday morning, Akron is at No. 99 in the KenPom rankings. Duke is at No. 1, followed by Florida, Houston and Auburn.
