The 2025 men’s NCAA Tournament has no shortage of intrigue.
From the best No. 1 overall prospect in years in Cooper Flagg to the most well-represented conference in March Madness history in the SEC, this year’s iteration of the most exciting tournament in American sports has a little something for everyone.
The aforementioned SEC has two No. 1 seeds in Florida and No. 1 overall seed Auburn, while Flagg and the Blue Devils and the Big 12’s Houston hold the other top lines. In-state rivals Michigan and Michigan State are undoubtedly eyeing each other in the South Region, while Bill Self and John Calipari are facing each other in the first round in Calipari’s first year at Arkansas.

However, the magic of March is in the storylines you don’t expect. Which double-digit seeds will advance? Will we get a Cinderella, run a la Saint Peter’s in 2022 or Loyola in 2018? Could a 16 seed even upset a No. 1 seed, something that has happened only once before?
Anything is possible as the tournament begins. Here is the full March Madness schedule, featuring times and channels.
