It never hurts to add a little championship experience to the panel on Selection Sunday. That is exactly what CBS is doing as former Villanova coach Jay Wright has been announced as an analyst on the 2023 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship Selection Show.
Wright will join Greg Gumbel, Clark Kellogg and Seth Davis. The four will reveal all 68 teams to make the field. They will also speak with Committee Chair Chris Reynolds after the teams are revealed to get some insight on the selections.
Jay Wright has earned praise this year for his work with CBS. He has been an analyst for select games and also made in-studio appearances during the network’s Saturday college basketball coverage.
During his 22 seasons as head coach at Villanova, Wright took the Wildcats to four Final Fours. He brought home a pair of national championships. He surprised many college basketball fans, abruptly retiring at the conclusion of last season. He announced he was joining CBS in October.
While CBS is adding another analyst to the panel, Jay Wright is providing a perspective none of his colleagues can. Not only can he speak to the selection process as a former coach, but unlike Kellogg, who played his last college basketball game more than 40 years ago, Wright was just involved in the sport at the highest level last year.
