The Mercer Bears are moving onto the next round of the CIT Tournament after their 64-59 win over the Georgia St. Panthers. Mercer was cruising through this game as they led Georgia State by 10 points at the half, but they had to hold off a late second half comeback attempt by Georgia State.

President Obama's 2012 Bracket Predictions: No.1 Kentucky Picked To Win South Region

President Barack Obama has filled out his NCAA Tournament bracket, as he does every year with ESPN's Andy Katz, and like most people, has the Kentucky Wildcats coming out of the South region to head to the Final Four.

A lot of the commander-in-chief's bracket picks are chalk, but Obama does have No. 3-seed Baylor taking out No. 2-seed Duke in the Elite Eight. The other upset the president is picking is the No. 12-seed Virginia Commonwealth Rams beating No. 5-seed Wichita State Shockers. VCU was the Cinderella team to make it to the Final Four last season, and Wichita State is a popular pick to do something similar in 2012. Obama also has the No. 10-seed Xavier Muskateers defeating the No. 7-seed Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

President Obama's Final Four picks are as follows:

No.1 Kentucky Wildcats vs. No. 2 Missouri Tigers

No.1 North Carolina Tar Heels vs. No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes

VIDEO: 2012 NCAA Tournament South Region: Kentucky Should Roll

Over at the SB Nation NCAA basketball hub page, our staff has videos breaking down each region of the bracket for the NCAA Tournament. We're trying to help you out with your office pool so be sure to pay attention.

In the South region, the Kentucky Wildcats is the overwhelming favorite, Nick Fasulo points out in the video, but Wichita State can still be a tricky opponent and a surprise in the bracket.

"First thing you wanna do, put Kentucky in the Final Four and figure out everything else," Fasulo said. He also acknowledged basketball historians thirst for a Duke vs. Kentucky 20-year anniversary rematch of the Christian Laettner shot.

But Fasulo says UNLV could get past the Baylor Bears and Duke Blue Devils. Check out the video right here.

NCAA Tournament 2012, SEC Teams: Kentucky, Vanderbilt Lead

The Kentucky Wildcats didn't win the SEC, but as has become recent tradition, they're being given the inside shot at the national title anyway. U mad, fans of every sport? UK was named the No. 1 overall seed and will get home region advantage in the South, where they'll start in Louisville and march toward Atlanta (easy now!).

Also joining them, among SEC teams: the Florida Gators are a 7 seed in the West (vs. the Virginia Cavaliers), the SEC champion Vanderbilt Commodores are a 5 seed in the East (vs. the Harvard Crimson ... pretty nerdy game!), and the Alabama Crimson Tide are a 9 seed in the Midwest (vs. Creighton).

That makes for four SEC teams, with the Mississippi Rebels just missing the cut.

Among pending SEC representatives, the Missouri Tigers were named a 2 seed in the West. Call it four and a half?

NCAA Tournament 2012, ACC Teams: UNC, Duke Headline

The North Carolina Tar Heels were named a 1 seed in the 2012 NCAA Tournament, getting top honors in the Midwest Region. They did this despite losing their conference title game to the Florida St. Seminoles. UNC will get either Lamar or Vermont.

FSU showed up at a 3 seed in the East vs. the St. Bonaventure Bonnies. The Duke Blue Devils are a 2 seed in the South (vs. Lehigh), while the Virginia Cavaliers are a 10 seed in the West, where they'll get the Florida Gators. The N.C. State Wolfpack grabbed an 11 seed against SDSU in the Midwest.

That's five teams from the ACC, but the future ACC fared pretty well too.

If conference realignment were settled as of today, the ACC would've had two top seeds, as the Syracuse Orange reign over the East Region. The Big East regular season champs will open up in Pittsburgh -- the Panthers didn't make the cut.

The Georgia Dome in Atlanta will play host to the 2012 NCAA Tournament's South Region from March 22 through March 25. The winner of that Region will advance to the Final Four.

2012 NIT Selection Show Time, TV Coverage: Savannah State Already In

No Georgia teams will make it into the 2012 NCAA Tournament, unless 40 schools decide to fold their basketball programs within the next hour or so. Crazier things have happened. World War I, for instance. World War I makes the least sense of anything. You should read up on it!

However, the Peach State won't be shut out of national tournament basketball, as the Savannah St. Tigers, regular season MEAC champs, have already locked down a spot in the NIT. If they'd won the MEAC tournament, they'd be at the big dance, but at least Georgia has a representative in the middle dance, yes?

Other teams already in, via: Akron, Bucknell, Drexel, Iona, Middle Tennessee, Nevada, Oral Roberts, Stony Brook, UT-Arlington, and Valparaiso.

There's also the CBI tournament, for NIT snubs, and the CIT below that. It may go on forever.

Time: 9 p.m. Eastern, two hours after the NCAA Selection Show ends.

NCAA Selection Sunday 2012: Time, TV Schedule And More

There won't be much of a local feel to the NCAA Selection Show on Sunday since no team from the state of Georgia will be capturing a bid to the tournament. Both Georgia and Georgia Tech suffered their way through tough seasons. The Yellow Jackets were knocked out of the first round of the ACC Tournament by Miami, and Georgia was bounced in the second round of the SEC Tournament.

Georgia State and Mercer had solid seasons in their respective conferences, and Georgia Southern improved over last season. Kennesaw State reminded Georgia and Georgia Tech fans in the state that yes things could be much worse. The state's best chance for a tournament team looked like it would be Savannah State, who earned the top seed in the MEAC Tournament but promptly was upset by eight seeded Hampton in the second round of the tournament.

However, Atlanta does get to host a regional, and the SEC and ACC could be represented by almost a dozen combined teams, according to Saturday's bracketology.

NCAA Selection Sunday

Date/Time: Sunday, March 11, 6:00 p.m. ET

TV: CBS
