March Madness is quickly approaching.
Since 2017, the NCAA DI Men's Basketball Committee has been previewing the bracket's top 16, providing a look ahead at how the bracket is coming together. This year is no different.

Here we take a look at the selections made on Saturday and more details about March Madness:
