The annual tradition of March Madness and bracket making of the college basketball championships is back in 2021.

For years, March Madness has been a highly celebrated event across the US.

Filling out your own bracket is a tradition that many people look forward to every March. 

The NCAA bracket allows for fans and Colleges from all over to unite over something.

The first few days contain the games between the number one seeds, and the number 16 seeds. 

These special games have everyone across the fan base rooting for the underdog to take down that season’s best teams. 

A basketball fan, Kimberly Castillo, said, “I’m glad that it is starting up because it makes it feel like we’re going back to normalcy.”

March Madness will only look slightly different this year as the NCAA is trying to keep the players from contracting and spreading COVID-19. 

Usually, the tournament takes place in several states, cities, and stadiums throughout the United States. 

The four quadrants are split up into regions and would play their first few games in their respective regions.

This year they will minimize the amount of travel that the teams have to do. 

All 76 games will be taking place in Indianapolis to avoid travel and the contraction of COVID-19.

The NCAA has secured six different arenas to play all of the games around the Indianapolis, Indiana area.

Selection Sunday will take place on March 14 at 4 PM MST. 

Tune in to see if your favorite teams will make it to “the big dance.”
