March Madness 2024
UConn, the defending national champions, received the top seed overall, setting the stage for a challenging title defense. Joining them as top seeds are Houston in the South Region, Purdue in the Midwest Region, and North Carolina in the West Region.
In the West Region, the story of resilience unfolds with Grand Canyon’s Tyon Grant-Foster, who overcame a near-fatal cardiac arrest during a game almost two years ago. His remarkable journey adds a compelling narrative to the tournament.
Meanwhile, the Midwest Region promises an exciting showdown if the top seeds advance, with Purdue seeking its first Final Four appearance since 1980, potentially facing off against Tennessee, a team hungry for its inaugural Final Four berth.
The March Madness 2024 East Region features UConn aiming to defend its national title against formidable contenders like Iowa State, Illinois, and Auburn. With tough competition ahead, the Huskies face a challenging path to retain their championship crown.
In the South Region, rich in basketball history, teams with storied legacies and recent Final Four appearances set the stage for intense matchups and fierce competition.
For teams left out of the NCAA Tournament, the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) offers a chance at postseason glory. The NIT, featuring programs overlooked for the Big Dance, kicks off with the first round on Tuesday, culminating in the championship game on April 4.
