March Madness is a single-elimination tournament played each spring in the United States, currently featuring 68 college basketball teams from the Division I level of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), to determine the national championship.

March Madness was created in 1939 by the National Association of Basketball Coaches, and was the idea of Ohio State coach Harold Olsen.

March Madness has become one of the biggest annual sporting events in the United States and has become extremely common in popular culture to predict the outcomes of each game, even among non-sports fans; it is estimated that tens of millions of Americans participate in a bracket pool contest every year.

Mainstream media outlets such as ESPN, CBS Sports and Fox Sports host tournaments online where contestants can enter for free.

March Madness include champions from 32 Division I conferences (which receive automatic bids), and 36 teams which are awarded at-large berths.

These “at-large” teams are chosen by an NCAA selection committee, then announced in a nationally televised event dubbed Selection Sunday.

The 68 teams are divided into four regions and organized into a single-elimination “bracket”, which pre-determines – when a team wins a game – which team it will face next.

The University of Kansas, coached by Bill Self won the 2022 Edition of March Madness.

The University of Kansas has won March Madness four times.

Caleb Love and Brady Manek each scored 13 points, with Manek chipping in 13 rebounds, giving Kansas its fourth national championship in program history and the second for Bill Self.
