March Madness 2022: NCAA Tournament Printable Bracket, Dates, Odds to Win College Basketball Championship
Whew, what a week it has been! The NCAA Conference Tournaments have come to an end and now it is time to dance – March Madness style! Over the next three weeks, it will be wall-to-wall college basketball as 68-teams will battle it out for a National Championship.
March Madness dates, No 1 seeds
The 2022 NCAA Tournament will officially get underway on Tuesday, March 15 with the first four play-in games and conclude on April 2 with the NCAA Championship.
Heading into the tourney, the No,.1 seeds look this way: Gonzaga is the No. 1 seed overall and Vegas favorite to win it all. The Zags are loaded, however, some believe that they are a bit overrated due to a soft conference schedule. Time will tell.
The other three No. 1 seeds include the Arizona Wildcats, Kansas Jayhawks, and defending champion Baylor Bears.
It is once again going to be interesting to see how this year’s tournament plays out because at least on paper, it is hard to picture any of these No. 1 seeds losing. On a side note, the Big Ten Conference does not have a No. 1 seed, however, they will send nine teams to the big dance. That is the most by far of any conference.
Right behind the Big Ten are the Big East, Big 12 and SEC which all will have six teams participating in the tourney. Below is the full schedule of dates by round for March Madness 2022.
- First Four — March 15-16
- Round 1 — March 17-18
- Round 2 — March 19-20
- Sweet 16 — March 24-25
- Elite Eight — March 26-27
