The 2024 edition of March Madness is here! 68 teams from around the country will vie for a chance to cut down the nets on April 8th. With no teams standing out as being truly head and shoulders above the competition, this year’s tournament is as wide open as ever before.
UConn is looking to go back to back after winning it all in 2023, and earning a 1 seed this year as well. Purdue can look to avenge their demons following several disappointing tournament runs as they earned top billing in the Midwest region. Houston, who has been at or near the top of the AP Top 25 for most of the season, will open their schedule as the top seed in the South bracket. While North Carolina has returned to their glory days with a top seed in the West despite their loss to NC State in the ACC tournament finals.
