NCAA: Overview

NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) Basketball, particularly the men’s division, is a highly competitive and popular college basketball league in the United States.

Structure and Divisions

NCAA Basketball is divided into three main divisions: Division I, Division II, and Division III. Division I is the most competitive and includes the largest universities with the most athletic scholarships. Division II schools are generally smaller and offer fewer scholarships, while Division III schools do not offer athletic scholarships but emphasize a balance between athletics, academics, and extracurricular activities.

Conferences

In Division I, teams are grouped into conferences based on geographic location and historical rivalries. Some of the most well-known conferences include the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), Big Ten Conference, Big 12 Conference, Pac-12 Conference, and Southeastern Conference (SEC). Each conference holds its own regular season and tournament, with the winners often receiving automatic bids to the NCAA Tournament.

Regular Season

The regular season typically runs from November to March. Teams play a mix of non-conference and conference games, with the goal of building a strong resume for selection to the NCAA Tournament. Performance in the regular season is crucial for seeding and selection in the tournament.

March Madness

The NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, known as “March Madness,” is a single-elimination tournament held each spring. It features 68 teams: 32 conference champions who receive automatic bids and 36 teams selected at-large by the NCAA Selection Committee. The tournament is famous for its unpredictability, with lower-seeded teams often pulling off upsets against higher-seeded opponents.

Tournament Structure

The tournament is divided into several rounds:

First Four: Four games played by the lowest-seeded teams to complete the 64-team bracket.
First and Second Rounds: 64 teams compete, with winners advancing to the Sweet 16.
Sweet 16 and Elite Eight: The remaining teams compete to advance to the Final Four.
Final Four: The last four teams compete in the semifinals, with the winners advancing to the National Championship game.

Notable Programs and Players

Some of the most successful and storied programs in NCAA Basketball history include the University of Kentucky, Duke University, University of North Carolina, University of Kansas, and UCLA. These programs have produced numerous NBA stars and Hall of Famers, such as Michael Jordan (UNC), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (UCLA), and Anthony Davis (Kentucky).

Women’s NCAA Basketball

The women’s NCAA Basketball tournament is also highly competitive and follows a similar structure to the men’s tournament. Programs like the University of Connecticut (UConn), University of Tennessee, and Stanford University have been dominant forces in women’s college basketball.

Impact and Culture

NCAA Basketball has a significant cultural impact in the United States. The excitement of March Madness captures the attention of millions of fans, with office pools and bracket challenges becoming a widespread phenomenon. The tournament’s unpredictability and the passion of college basketball fans make it a unique and thrilling sporting event.

NCAAB Championship Teams in The Last 10 Years

Over the past decade, the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament has seen a variety of champions, each with their own unique journey to the title. In 2024, the University of Connecticut (UConn) claimed the championship by defeating Purdue, marking their second consecutive title after also winning in 2023 against San Diego State. The 2022 season saw Kansas triumph over North Carolina in a closely contested final. Baylor emerged victorious in 2021, overcoming Gonzaga to secure their first national championship. The 2020 tournament was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a historic first for the event.

UConn wins first back-to-back men's NCAA basketball titles since 2007.

In 2019, Virginia captured their first-ever national title by defeating Texas Tech in an overtime thriller. Villanova was dominant in 2018, securing their second championship in three years by beating Michigan. The 2017 title went to North Carolina, who edged out Gonzaga in a hard-fought game. Villanova also won in 2016, with a memorable buzzer-beater against North Carolina. Duke claimed the 2015 championship by overcoming Wisconsin, and in 2014, UConn won their fourth national title by defeating Kentucky.

2024/25 NCAAB season: What to Expect

The 2024/25 NCAA Division I men’s basketball season is set to begin on November 4, 2024. The regular season will run until March 16, 2025. Following the regular season, the NCAA Tournament, commonly known as “March Madness,” will kick off with the First Four games on March 18, 2025, and conclude with the National Championship game on April 7, 2025, at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.

Teams to Watch

Kansas Jayhawks: Riley Kugel’s decommitment and Elmarko Jackson's knee injury have simplified the backcourt rotation, but Bill Self is still bolstering the lineup with elite transfer AJ Storr, sharpshooter Rylan Griffen, Summit League Player of the Year Zeke Mayo, and experienced high-major starter Shakeel Moore, all joining returning starter Dajuan Harris Jr.

Alabama Crimson Tide: Some of Alabama's standout performances in the 2023-24 season, particularly down the stretch, featured Grant Nelson or Jarin Stevenson at center—both floor-stretching options. This season, Rutgers transfer Clifford Omoruyi will anchor the post. Omoruyi, one of the top interior defenders in the nation, is set to provide a significant defensive upgrade for the Tide.

UConn Huskies: In addition to the NBA talent the Huskies have developed recently, Dan Hurley has also had one of the top bench guards in the country in Diarra. The reigning Big East Sixth Man Award winner started only four games over the past two seasons, but he is expected to take on a prominent role and have the ball in his hands in the 2024-25 season.

Houston Cougars: Shead emerged as one of the nation's top point guards during his tenure with the Cougars, known for his exceptional defensive skills and clutch playmaking. With Shead now gone, Sampson is turning to Oklahoma transfer Milos Uzan to lead the team. Uzan’s experience in the Big 12 should be beneficial, though there will still be a period of adjustment as he takes on this new role.

Gonzaga Bulldogs: Gonzaga’s impressive second-half turnaround last season showcased their potential, but they’ll need to improve their consistency in ball defense and rim protection, especially with Anton Watson no longer in the lineup. A key addition is Tarleton State transfer Emmanuel Innocenti, an elite defender who is expected to strengthen their defensive efforts.

Players to Watch

R.J. Davis - North Carolina: RJ Davis is a strong contender for Preseason National Player of the Year, and his candidacy is well-deserved. As he enters his fifth season with North Carolina, Davis has become the face of the program and is set to be one of the most formidable backcourt scorers in the country. His fluid movement and capability to score from all areas of the court make him a thrilling player to watch. With a Tar Heels roster that appears somewhat thin offensively, Davis's scoring prowess will be crucial this season.

Mark Sears - Alabama: Mark Sears had a stellar senior year in Tuscaloosa during the 2023-24 season. After being a starter alongside Brandon Miller, Noah Clowney, and Jahvon Quinerly on the Alabama team that was the top overall seed in the 2023 NCAA Tournament, Sears took on a leading role last season and guided the Crimson Tide to the Final Four. Despite the increased responsibility as the team’s primary option, Sears improved his shooting accuracy, raising his field goal and three-point percentages by ten points from his junior to senior year. Look for Sears as a strong candidate for First-Team All-American honors and a potential dark horse for National Player of the Year.

Sears is a strong candidate for First-Team All-American honors and a potential dark horse for National Player of the Year.

Johni Broome - Auburn: When Johni Broome made waves in the Missouri Valley with Morehead State as a sophomore, it was evident he was bound for greatness. After two standout seasons with Auburn, Broome is poised to step into the national spotlight and vie for First-Team All-American honors. His blend of mobility, outside shooting, and post play makes him a modern big man with lottery potential, provided he delivers another exceptional season with the Tigers.

Ryan Kalkbrenner - Creighton: Ryan Kalkbrenner has been dominating the Big East paint for years, and he's set for one final season with the Bluejays. Over his four years at Creighton, he has shown steady improvement and will achieve the rare feat of being a five-year impact player at one school, despite the allure of the NBA and the transfer portal. To elevate his game further, Kalkbrenner could benefit from developing a reliable outside jump shot. If he can start sinking triples consistently, he might position himself as a contender for National Player of the Year in the 2024-25 season.

Hunter Dickinson - Kansas: Hunter Dickinson's 2023-24 season with Kansas didn't unfold as anticipated. Although the Jayhawks were preseason No. 1, injuries and depth issues plagued them throughout the year, resulting in an early exit from the NCAA Tournament. While Dickinson didn't fully meet the high expectations set for him, he remains one of the premier big men in the country. With a talented roster around him in Lawrence, he will be poised for another run at the National Player of the Year award in 2024-25.
