March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb – except in college basketball.
The madness is in full swing, as 68 teams began the 2025 NCAA Tournament with high hopes of cutting down the nets when it’s all over. With plenty of games in the books, some are still hanging onto that dream, and others will hang onto the memories.
Underdogs will hope Cinderella’s slipper fits long enough to become champions, while the favorites anxiously wait for the clock to strike midnight.
Bottom line, chaos can reign supreme in the March Madness bracket. If you listen close enough, you can hear the maniacal laugh of the person pulling the proverbial strings.
So buckle up for what promises to be a wild ride. Here’s a look at the updated men’s March Madness bracket by region, including scores and schedules.
