2025 March Madness updates: NCAA tournament bracket messages, selection Sunday analysis, snubs, first round, first four summer builders

by

March Madness is here and the craziness began with the opening game of the men's NCAA tournament. The first four began on Tuesday evening with Alabama State, who impresses St. Francis in a layup with a second left after a football pass that was over.

The state of Alabama will now record the total seeds No. 1 in the south region on Thursday. North Carolina ran past San Diego State 95-68 in the second four game on Tuesday and will now face No. 6 Miss on Thursday.

The first four women start on Wednesday.

The selection on Sunday was full of surprises, celebrations and heartache. The bracket reveals with the full selection for the men and women listed below.

Here is Like the No. 1 seed for the men:

  • Auburn (southern region)

  • Duke (Ostegion)

  • Houston (Midwest region)

  • Florida (West region)

The SEC won the day with a record of 14 out of 16 teams that made the NCAA tournament. The big ten were next with eight teams, followed by the Big 12 with seven.

Here is Like seed No. 1 shaken for women:

So what can we hit from the selection of the men's committee? Here were some snack bars of the Yahoo Sports Analyst Jeff Eisenberg:

On Sunday morning it was clear that Auburn, Duke, Houston and Florida had separated in the race for No. 1. Credit to the committee that this has not been messed up – and for the fact that this is brought into the right order.

The same applies to the Sec that receives 14 bids. You will probably hear some complaints about it, but the truth is that the SEC deserves this respect.

Where the selection committee was stumbled a little: selection of North Carolina via more deserved teams like West Virginia. The Tar Heels grabbed the last place in the field, even though he was 1-12 in Quadrant 1 games and defeated only one NCAA tournament team with the large caliber.

Also wrong: The committee claims that the conference tournament scene are important – also those on Sunday that rise until the selection show. This is undoubtedly true when a biddie is involved. However, it is a little more difficult to believe if only one or two potential seed line beads are at stake. Michigan was entered as No. 5 seeds, while the team that was just defeating (Wisconsin), despite a comparable curriculum vitae, received a No. 3 seed, makes the claim appear doubtful.

On the women's side of the bracket, Ryan Young believes that the selection has made at least one mistake.

When he went into the selection on Sunday, it seemed as if South Carolina had the edge for the total name of number 1.

In their conference championship game, the reigning national champions were fresh from a blowout win and looked greatly in the year. The Gamecocks had won seven in a row, all in double digits, and had clearly completed a 29-point defeat against Uconn.

But the committee chose the UCLA instead. And it shouldn't have.

The Bruins deserved a seed no. 1 in the tournament. That was never in doubt. They went 30: 2 and won the Big Ten tournament title with a win against USC. They also started the year with a winning series with 23 games. Therefore, the UCLA committee for the first time in the program history gave the top -shaped.

The biggest reason for this, she said to ESPN, was twice. First, the UCLA defeated 15 points in South Carolina in November. While a head-to-head matchup usually does the trick, it was months ago. The second was that South Carolina lost almost 30 points against Uconn at home. The UCLA had no bad loss.

  • Here are the 5 largest NCAA tournament snubs

    It is the most predictable part of the selection Sunday.

    Every year there are more teams convinced that they earn a bid for men's men of the NCAA than space in the 68 team clip.

    Three years ago, Texas A&M Coach Buzz Williams distributed a nine -sided manifesto, which argued that the Aggies were wrong and the selection process required a revision. Last year, the Big East “understandably very disappointed” about the historically small number of selected teams from the conference. This March, the Bubble teams had the greatest reason to boast of North Carolina after the clamp was unveiled on Sunday evening.

    Many amateur bracketologists predicted the Tar Heels to just miss the field of 68, as they went 1-12 in Quadrant 1 games and defeated only a forecast NCAA tournament team all year round. The committee apparently felt differently and awarded one of the last committees to the Tar Heels (22-13) due to their top 40 metrics and the strong strength of the schedule.

    While North Carolina made the relief easier to hear his name, other Bubble teams were not so lucky. Here are the largest NCAA tournament snubs this year.
