After four months of basketball and a week of conference tournaments, the madness begins.
Two weeks to crown a champion with it culminating in confetti raining down on the 2022-23 men's college basketball season on Monday, April 3.
It is the first year in what feels like a changing of the guard in the sport. Some of the traditional blue bloods -- Duke, North Carolina and Kentucky -- are not as powerful as they once were. Houston and Alabama are considered to be the top two contenders, according to BetMGM.
The Final Four will return to the site of an instant classic back in 2016, when Villanova's Kris Jenkins knocked down an improbable buzzer-beating three to stun North Carolina. That game serves as one of the most memorable in recent memory, while also being one of Jim Nantz's signature calls.
And how could we forget Nantz? The broadcasting legend will call his last Final Four this season, before the new voice of March Madness -- Ian Eagle -- takes over in 2024.
