March Madness!!!

March Madness starts tonight with Division III Men's Basketball!

What is March Madness? March Madness refers to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) tournament that happens every spring, primarily during the month of March. The tournament features men's and women's basketball, Divisions I, II, and III. The tournament is single-elimination, meaning they play one game and the winner moves on to the next round.

As a tournament ritual, the winning team cuts down the net at the end of the regional championship game as well as the national championship game. Each player (traditionally with the seniors going first, then juniors, and so on) cuts a single strand off of the net for themselves, commemorating their victory, with the head coach cutting the last strand and claiming the net itself.

In the men's tournament, games are held in neutral territory; teams are prohibited from playing tournament games on their home courts.

At 11 national titles, UCLA currently holds the record for the most NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championships. The University of Kentucky is second, with 7 national titles, while Indiana University and the University of North Carolina are tied for third with 5 national titles.
