NCAA March Madness Schedule and Men’s College Basketball Season Highlights 2023

• March Madness officially kicked off March 12 with Selection Sunday. Since then, 52 teams have been eliminated.
• None of the original No. 1 seeds remain in the tournament, but a No. 4 seed, two No. 5 seeds, and a No. 9 seed will compete in the Final Four on April 1.
• The men's championship game is scheduled for April 3 in Houston.

This week, the four remaining college basketball teams will continue on their quest toward a national championship title.

The madness has been in full swing so far in this postseason tournament.

Two No. 1 ranked teams – Kansas and Purdue – and two No. 2 ranked teams – Marquette and Arizona – lost in the first two rounds. Fairleigh Dickinson University upset Purdue, which was the second time in tournament history that a No. 16 team beat out a No. 1 seed.

Meanwhile, lower-seeded teams made their mark on brackets and hearts. No. 15 Princeton, No. 9 Florida Atlantic University, and No. 8 Arkansas made it to the Sweet 16

For the first time in history, the Elite Eight was absent of all No. 1 seeded teams. Now, three of the four remaining teams have yet to cut down the nets for a National Championship.

Be sure to tune in for the final three games of the Big Dance, starting with the Final Four matchups.
