March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb – except in college basketball.
The madness is in full swing, as 68 teams began the 2025 NCAA Tournament with high hopes of cutting down the nets when it’s all over. With plenty of games in the books, some are still hanging onto that dream, and others will hang onto the memories.

Bottom line, chaos can reign supreme in the March Madness bracket. If you listen close enough, you can hear the maniacal laugh of the person pulling the proverbial strings.
