The future of Canadian basketball will be on display in the 2022 NCAA Tournament as 28 men and 20 women will be participating in this year’s March Madness. Five Canadians will be playing on a top-4 seed in the men’s tournament, while eight Canadian women play on a team ranked No. 1 - 4. The list of Canadian men includes London, Ont. native Shaedon Sharpe, who is a projected 2022 NBA Draft lottery pick despite not playing a game with the Wildcats this season. This year’s Final Four will take place at the Caesar’s Superdome in New Orleans, beginning on April 1 for the women’s tournament and April 2 for the men’s tournament. Toronto’s Alyssa Jerome won an NCAA Championship with Stanford in 2021, while a Canadian man has not won an NCAA title since Kyle Wiltjer with Kentucky in 2012.
