The NCAA Basketball Tournament 2010 brackets come out on Sunday. In the 2010 NCAA Tournament, Gonzaga looks to be about a No. 7 seed according to the Bracketology work-up of ESPN writer Joe Lunardi. Getting upset in the WCC Championship Game by Saint Mary's set Gonzaga back a step, and possibly cost them a really good seed in the 2010 NCAA Tournament. If things turn out the way that Joe Lunardi is suggesting, Gonzaga fans may have a long travel route to see their team play in the 2010 NCAA Tournament.
Right now, Gonzaga is shown as the No. 7 seed in the South bracket of the 2010 NCAA Tournament. That would put their first round game in Oklahoma City, up against a predicted opponent of Marquette. Their bracket finals would take place in Houston, Texas if they were to make it that far, with the Final Four Tournament taking place in Indianapolis, Indiana this year. There is still a chance that the NCAA Selection Committee could give Gonzaga a better seeding, as these are just the best guesses from an ESPN expert.
Gonzaga had been hoping that they could be a four or five seed in the South bracket, as that would make their first round (and possibly second round) games take place in Spokane, Washington, just blocks from Gonzaga University. There is still a chance that this might take place, and if it happens on Selection Sunday, expect a huge rush of Gonzaga fans to start buying up the tickets to the NCAA Tournament games in the Spokane Arena.
The 2010 NCAA Tournament selection will take place at 4:00 p.m. PST on Sunday, March 14th.

Hey Ryan, on the women's side it seems that perhaps Vermont and Gonzaga will be playing the first round. Any interest in sharing some info on the teams if this happens or do you know of someone who handles Zags sports for Examiner?
