One region in the 2025 NCAA Tournament bracket stands out above the rest for its brutality. The West is going to be a slugfest, as No. 1 seed Florida, No. 2 seed St. John's, No. 3 seed Texas Tech and No.

Madness — the NCAA men's basketball tournament — and that means there are going to be upsets. Whether it's a No. 9 seed beating a No. 8 in a kind-of upset, a traditional No. 12 over No. 5 upset or a more stunning upset with a No.

The First Four of the 2025 NCAA tournament starts Tuesday with a pair of games on the men's side in Dayton, Ohio, as March Madness officially gets underway. Start times for each of the first-round games are set, along with all the TV broadcast info.
