NCAA Tournament 2017: Breaking down the March Madness bracket

Join us live at 7:30 p.m. ET as we break down the bracket, make predictions, and tell you what to watch for in the 2017 NCAA tournament.

Which No. 1 seed has the easiest path to the Final Four? Who got a surprisingly low rating from the committee, or got left out of the tournament altogether? Which region is full of landmines? And when will we see the first mid-major take down a traditional basketball power?

Now that the 2017 bracket is finally locked in, it’s time to review the whole thing. We’ll talk to Miami head coach Jim Larrañaga, Seton Hall head coach Kevin Willard, and Princeton head coach Mitch Henderson. We’ll also check in with a variety of SB Nation experts, including college basketball editor Ricky O’Donnell and internet strongman Jon Bois. We’ll have opinions that will probably turn out to be wildly wrong, because that’s what shows like this are for.
Join Ryan Nanni and Nick Fasulo at 7:30 p.m. Eastern for a discussion of this year’s NCAA tournament field. We promise to give you nothing but the most intelligent analysis or we’ll refund your money!
