March Madness bracket: Full schedule, TV channels, scores for 2023 NCAA Tournament games

Is this the most wide-open NCAA Tournament in recent memory?

The usual suspects are still there, yes — the likes of Kansas and Gonzaga will never be out of the picture — but traditional powers such as Duke and Kentucky have not seemed like the world beaters of years past.

The top of the college basketball rankings have been rife with losses all season long, as well. Some of the top teams in the country lost games during the final month of the regular season. This NCAA Tournament could truly demonstrate how mad March can be.

EXPERT PICKS:
DeCourcy (Alabama) | Bender (Kansas) | Fagan (Marquette) | Pohnl (Kansas)

That's not even including the storylines that will dominate this year's tournament, including whether Bill Self's Kansas squad can become the first repeat champion since Florida captured titles repeat titles in 2006 and 2007. The Gators supplanted Duke, which won back-to-back championships in 1991 and 1992.

Speaking of the Blue Devils, Jon Scheyer will coach his first NCAA Tournament since replacing the legendary Coach K — how his team performs will be of great interest throughout the country. Could he become the first first-year coach since Michigan's Steve Fisher in 1989 to lead an NCAA Tournament title run?

On the West Coast, Mick Cronin's UCLA team — soon to be headed to the Big Ten — will look to become the first team from the Pac-12 since Arizona in 1997 to win the NCAA Tournament. Staying in the Pacific Time Zone, Drew Timme will have one final ride with Gonzaga as Mark Few attempts to win his first NCAA Tournament title after falling just short in 2017 and 2021.

Then there are the Crimson Tide, whose March Madness run will include a cloud over the team after All-American talent Brandon Miller was revealed to be connected to a mid-January shooting that resulted in capital murder charges against former teammate Darius Miles.
