Tonight on ESPN (7:00 PM, Eastern), invitations to “The Big Dance” go out. Last year, the Lady Bulldogs were “on the bubble.” They watched the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament Selection Show with fingers crossed, hoping for (and getting) an at-large bid. This season, with 20-plus victories and a winning record in SEC play on their resume, it’s not a matter of “if” they’ll be Dancing…just “where” and “when.” During the one-hour selection show tonight, we’ll learn who’s in, who’s out, and where everybody’s going for opening-round action in this year’s NCAA Tournament. Following the selection show, at 8:00 PM (Eastern), there will be a round table discussion of the tournament brackets among ESPN’s talking heads, each of whom will most likely declare that the whole thing is a waste of time and that the NCAA should go ahead and FedEX the national championship trophy to Connecticut. Well, if you’ve followed women’s college basketball for a while, you know that there is a long, glorious history of upsets for the ages in this tournament. Not for nothing do they call it March Madness. Let’s just play the games and see what happens, shall we?

We’ll post an update later on tonight with details on Georgia’s NCAA Tournament first-round destination and opponent. As the week goes on, we’ll add ticket information and links to hotels in the host city. Like we say around here every year, Fastbreakers: Let the Madness begin!
