[Sign up for Bracket Madness | Printable brackets: Men’s | Women’s]
Selection Sunday has arrived.
The final few games for the conference championship have been decided and the bracket is over.
The brackets for the NCAA men's tournament were announced Sunday, with UConn announced as the No. 1 overall seed coming from the East. Houston was the No. 1 seed in the South Region, while Purdue earned the No. 1 seed in the Midwest. North Carolina State defeated next-choice Iowa State and Arizona State to become the No. 1 seed in the West.
On the women's side, South Carolina once again earned the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament. This makes the Gamecocks the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament for the fourth straight season.
Shamcock was easily chosen as the top seed. They went undefeated in the regular season for the second straight season, then went on to a perfect 32-0 record this season, then defeated LSU in a highly controversial title game to win the SEC Tournament. South Carolina, which won the national championship in 2022, reached the Final Four last season as well, but the Shamcocks lost to Iowa State.
Whether you're a hardcore hoops fan, a casual person, or someone who's never watched a college basketball game, there's a good chance you'll be invited to fill in the brackets. If not, take part in our free public competition and fill out the men's and women's slots now.
