March has officially begun, courtesy of Alabama State in the First Four. The Hornets notched their first NCAA tournament win in program history on Tuesday with a football pass-turned-tip-drill-turned-lay-up from Amarr Knox, who put them ahead 70-68 over St. Francis with an assist from Micah Simpson.

Madness bracket was officially released on Selection Sunday giving college basketball fans the first look at the field of 68 for the 2025 NCAA Tournament and after one day of the First Four, North Carolina and Alabama State are moving on to the main bracket with another day of First Four action set for Wednesday.

Where the selection committee stumbled a bit: selecting North Carolina over more deserving teams like West Virginia. The Tar Heels snared the final at-large spot in the field despite going 1-12 in Quadrant 1 games and only defeating one at-large-caliber NCAA tournament team.
