Last year, No. 1 seed Kansas beat No. 8 seed North Carolina in the national championship game. Plus, don’t forget about the great Cinderella story of Saint Peter’s. The school gained many new fans as the Peacocks, a 15-seed, made it all the way to the Elite Eight round, losing to the Tar Heels to end their historic March Madness run.
This year’s tournament will take place in 15 different locations.
