March Madness second round predictions: NCAA bracket picks for every men’s game
With the first round of the 2025 men's NCAA Tournament having now passed, the attention now shifts to what is set to be a loaded March Madness round of 32 in all four regions.
Before we look ahead to this weekend however, it's also important to recap what we saw from the first round the last two days, as well as if the "madness" of March was truly brought.
Well, to answer that question, there were only a few big upsets that occurred during the first round, some of which included No. 12 seeds Colorado State and McNeese defeating Memphis and Clemson, respectively. Many of the top seeds also cruised to blowout victories, while some, such as Alabama, were in closer games than most expected.
