March Madness is the commonly used nickname for the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I men’s and women’s basketball tournaments. These multi-week tournaments held each spring feature 68 college basketball teams from the Division I level of the NCAA, and they compete in a single-elimination format to determine the national champions. The term “March Madness” encapsulates the excitement and unpredictability of the tournament, as it often includes surprising upsets, last-second victories, and intense competition.
