2024 NCAA March Madness Tournament

The 2024 NCAA March Madness Tournament kicks off this Tuesday, March 19th, 2024, with first-round matches on Thursday and Friday, followed by second-round showdowns over the weekend.

Selection Sunday delivered its fair share of surprises, with St. John’s missing out on the tournament.

Notable shuffles include Tennessee sliding from a projected 1 seed to a 2 seed, while UNC, Houston, Purdue, and UConn take the coveted 1 seeds.

UConn, Big East Tournament Champions, led by coach Dan Hurley, aims to exceed last year’s success in the NCAA Tournament.

Unexpected Conference Champions like Oregon, North Carolina State, and Duquesne have barged into the tournament, snatching spots from bubble teams.

The 1st Four Out

Oklahoma’s exclusion from the 2024 NCAA March Madness Tournament, marks their second absence in three years, casting them out once again.

Despite increased bids, injuries plagued the Sooners, leading to a disappointing 2-6 finish, including losses to formidable teams like Houston and Baylor.

Similarly, Seton Hall’s aspirations were crushed despite a respectable 20-11 regular season and quality wins against top Big East teams.

However, losses to Marquette, UConn, and St. John’s left them on the cusp of selection, victims of unanticipated bid-stealers.

Led by the promising Robbie Avila, Indiana State had a remarkable season in the Missouri Valley Conference but stumbled in the Conference Championship game against Drake, lacking significant wins on their resume, ultimately missing an NCAA bid.

Pittsburgh, despite a solid ACC performance and notable victories over Duke and Virginia, succumbed to NC State’s Cinderella run in the Conference Tournament, landing among the First Four out after a semifinal loss to UNC.
