March Madness live bracket: Updated schedule, scores, results for every 2023 NCAA Tournament game image

March Madness 2023 is underway. Teams will battle it out for a chance to play at NRG Stadium in Houston, the site of the 2023 Final Four and national championship game.

Turner Sports and CBS will be the networks to watch for the next several weeks as powerhouses like Kansas and UCLA look to get back to the Final Four.

Houston has arguably been the best team in the country this year, with the Cougars continuing to dominate. Alabama is also in the conversation as the Crimson Tide look to prove they are, in fact, a basketball school as well.

With North Carolina and Michigan missing the cut, there will be more schools fans may or may not be familiar with. That's sure to only increase the madness.
