idk how march madness works lol so does that mean iowa and sc are playing each other first?

hi!! no worries at all let’s take a look at the t16 bracket skeleton they revealed

okay so how this works is all the teams you see here are top 16 teams (why gonzaga is here is beyond me) but they’re either a 1 seed, 2 seed, 3 seed, or 4 seed. there’s 64 teams in total going into this tournament, but the rounds of 64 and 32 are going to be hosted by the 1-4 seeds. so scar, iowa, texas, uconn, and all the other schools up here will be hosting the first and second rounds of the tournament.

after that we move to the sweet sixteen and elite 8, and the sweet 16 is where iowa and scar should hit each other as long as they both make it out of the first two rounds (most likely, they will)

this is what the sweet 16 “should” look like but we all know that upsets and early exits do and will happen. the sweet 16 and elite 8 are hosted in seattle/albany, and those are labeled on the bracket so you can see which schools are in which region.

then, the regional champs head to the final 4 in cleveland?? i believe but it’s honestly super simple and once they fill in the rest of the teams before the tournament starts you’ll see the pretty basic bracket system as we work our way through the tournament.

hope that helped!!

What does selection sunday mean? It is televised?

selection sunday is essentially when the march madness bracket is released! we find out who the teams in the tournament are, as well as seeding and who is going to be hosting the first couple rounds :)

the men’s is televised on cbs at 5 CST (i think) and the women’s is on ESPN at 7 CST (but check me on those times)
