What is the name of the tournament held in March, where 68 teams compete for the national championship?

The tournament held in March where 68 teams compete for the national championship is widely referred to as March Madness. This term describes the excitement and unpredictability of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, which begins with selection Sunday when teams are announced, followed by the first-round games that create an intense, competitive atmosphere. The tournament culminates with the Final Four and ultimately the national championship game. March Madness captures the attention of fans nationwide and emphasizes the thrill of high-stakes games, upsets, and the journey of teams aiming for the championship title.

While the Final Four refers specifically to the last four teams in the tournament, the overall event is encapsulated under the term March Madness. The NCAA Championship is the title game that determines the nation's champion rather than the tournament itself. The term "Super Bowl of Basketball" is not officially recognized within NCAA terminology, making March Madness the most accurate designation for the tournament as a whole.
