    We are less than three weeks away from Selection Sunday, and you know what that means around these parts: Time for the NCAA Tournament Preview Capsules!

    Yep, our huge NCAA tournament preview will return this year, and, as always, we need your help in writing the three tiny tidbits of information about each tourney team. For good examples, take a look at our past ones.

    We're working off the invaluable Bracketology as to which teams to include so far, and they're listed below. If you're interested in writing a certain team's tidbits below, please email us at tips@deadspin.com with your favored school's name in the subject line, and tell us why you'd be perfect to write them. And check back to this page to see which teams are all signed up for, and which teams we've added.
