March Madness is now officially set to begin, as the first round of the 2025 men's NCAA Tournament gets underway Thursday afternoon, and will last through late Friday night.
A two-day span in which 32 games will be played in all, the first round of the NCAA Tournament is historically one of the more anticipated times of year on the sports calendar, not only due to the non-stop action, but also the multiple upsets that March Madness' seems to bring annually.
