MARCH MADNESS BACKGROUND

There are 351 NCAA men’s basketball teams that play the highest level of competition, division one. One reason that makes college basketball’s post season unique and exciting compared to other sports is that all 351 schools have an opportunity to make the NCAA tournament in pursuit of a national championship. Davids can rocket to prominence against Goliaths in the NCAA tournament. Once the regular season ends, 31 of the 32 conferences have a conference tournament to determine their conference champion and send them dancing into the middle of March for an epic trip to the 68-team NCAA Tournament. The rest of the 37 teams in the 68-team field consist of 36 of the strongest at-large teams that did not win their conference tournament as well as the Ivy League’s regular season champion. The 68 team NCAA Tournament aka March Madness then crowns the national champion to the school that survives the longest.
