2025 ncaa game

The road to the Final Four in Glendale, Arizona for the 68 teams in this season's NCAA men's tournament will start in four different regions.

It'll take 64 games for the field to be whittled down to the quartet that will reach the final weekend where every team wants to go.

The path for any of the teams will be difficult as March Madness brings the guarantee of upsets, buzzer-beaters and surprising stories.

Brackets surely will get busted as some teams will become Cinderella stories and favorites are sent home early.
