When and where is March Madness?
The countdown to March is on, which means every college basketball team is trying to secure one of the 60-plus spots in the NCAA Tournament.
On the men’s side, No. 5 Kansas looks in good position to make a run at defending its title. The 2022 runner up North Carolina, on the other hand, finds itself solidly in the middle of the ACC and will likely need a deep conference tournament run to have a chance at their one shining moment.
On the women’s side, undefeated South Carolina remains the odds-on favorite to repeat as champions.
But, as anyone who has ever attempted to complete the perfect bracket knows, March Madness was built for upsets and Cinderella stories.
Here’s a look at what to expect from the 2023 March Madness tournaments.
