March Madness 2024 is finally upon us! When it’s all said and done, four teams will square off in Glendale, Arizona on Saturday, April 6, with the two winning squads advancing to the championship game on Monday, April 8.

The UConn Huskies, Houston Cougars, Purdue Boilermakers, and North Carolina Tar Heels all earned No.1 seeds, but North Carolina and Purdue are still waiting to see who they’ll play in the first round.
