An upset-filled regular season set the stage for what could be a chaotic March Madness run.
This year, there are several squads that possess the chemistry and talent to win the championship trophy. Houston, Purdue and UConn are certainly in that group after posting impressive overall records before entering the NCAA Tournament bracket.
But every elite team has fallen at some point during the 2023-24 campaign, so no one would be shocked if a Cinderella school manages to escape a region and punch its ticket to the Final Four. That element makes March Madness one of the most thrilling stretches on the sports calendar.
Here is everything you need to know about this year’s NCAA Tournament bracket, including key dates and TV and streaming options for each round.
