Men’s College Basketball
The NCAA Men’s College Basketball Tournament is an annual single-elimination competition featuring 68 Division I teams vying for the national championship. A selection committee of athletic directors and conference commissioners evaluates teams based on performance metrics, strength of schedule, quality wins, and advanced analytics. Using this data alongside subjective judgment, they choose the field, rank each team on an overall seed list, and assign them to regions to balance competition and honor geographic considerations.
