March Madness is back and this year it’s bigger than ever, as America tunes in to see which teams will be cutting down the nets come the first weekend of April.
Perhaps more important than the action on the court, though, is whether you have the skill (or luck?) to beat your friends and co-workers in your bracket.
With the action getting underway tonight in the First Four, the Daily Mail is on hand with our very own downloadable bracket. Why not print it off, stick it on the wall, and see how many picks you can get right…
So who’s up first? Tuesday and Wednesday night will see eight men’s teams find out their fate in the First Four, with No 11 and No 16 seeds aiming to seal a place in the main bracket.
Florida is one of the big favorites to get to the Final Four at the end of March Madness

The action begins with UMBC and Howard facing off in Dayton, Ohio at 6:40pm EST, before Texas and NC State go toe-to-toe at 9:15pm.
On Wednesday night, at the same times, Prairie View face Lehigh, and then the final bracket will be locked down with the result of Miami OH and SMU.
On Thursday, the proper action starts with a humdinger between No 9 TCU and No 8 Ohio, before we’re locked in to see who can go all the way.
March Madness ends in… April, with this year’s men’s Final Four semifinals taking place in Indianapolis on Saturday April 4. The national championship game is two days later, on April 6… but who’s going to make it? Let’s find out!
