When does March Madness start?

March Madness is upon us.

The NCAA tournament will start on Tuesday, March 14 in Dayton, Ohio, and will run through Monday, April 3, when a new champion will be crowned at University of Phoenix Stadium.

Last season, Villanova overcame North Carolina to earn the school's second national title and their first in over three decades. The Wildcats capitalized on the momentum from their championship win, and went on to produce a stellar 28–3 season (15–3 Big East). They finished the year ranked No. 2 in the AP Top 25 Poll behind No. 1 Kansas, who finished with the same overall record as Villanova but were 16–2 in conference.
