After the pandemic shut things down in 2020 and severely restricted the number of spectators last year, we finally have a March featuring NCAA Tournament games with no crowd restrictions at sites across the country.
The notable upsets and buzzer-beating shots that highlighted conference tournaments last week offered just an appetizer of what to expect. Now that the 68-team field been announced, here’s a rundown of things to know before filling out your bracket.
The Final Four is in New Orleans, the sixth time the Big Easy has hosted the spectacle — all at the Superdome. Only Kansas City (10 times), Indianapolis (8) and New York (7) have hosted the men's Final Four more times.
As for the schedule, the familiar rhythms of March have returned: First Four games on Tuesday and Wednesday; the first round on Thursday and Friday; the second round on Saturday and Sunday; and another Thursday-Sunday run next week for the regional rounds.
