It's Selection Monday, and Mark, Jared, and Jason are live breaking down the 2025 NCAA Tournament bracket in real time as it drops on ESPN. The guys preview the biggest bubble questions heading into the show, TCU, NC State, Kentucky, Mercer, Liberty, and a crowded Sunbelt, before watching the full 64-team field reveal live and reacting to every regional assignment as it hits the screen. From the Mercer snub to five Sunbelt teams getting in, from Miami getting sent to face Florida again to the committee's post-selection press conference justifying it all with "strength of schedule," this is the most chaotic and entertaining Selection Monday breakdown in college baseball. Strap in.
