March Madness 2024 bracket: Here are all 68 NCAA men's teams - ESPN

Well, here we go. The 2024 men's NCAA tournament field has been announced, and the greatest three-week stretch in sports is set to begin.

How we got here was a journey, too. The bubble collapsed over the weekend thanks to a handful of unexpected conference tournament runs (see: Oregon, NC State, Duquesne, UAB). The top teams also had their challenges: 1-seeds Purdue and Houston failed to win their respective conference tournaments, while the likes of Arizona, Tennessee and North Carolina also fell.

All of this sets up what is going to be a fabulous NCAA tournament.

Before we get to the first games — the First Four tips Tuesday, and the first round begins Thursday — we want to offer you this guide to all 68 teams.

Our goal here, like with every year, is to offer information on every program. We are not offering you a promise of success as you fill out your brackets.

Still, for those who want to know about possible upsets, we've created the «ceiling» system. With each team, we'll tell you how far we think they can go… if everything goes right.

Just remember: A lot of things can go wrong, too. Enjoy the Madness.
