The 2025 NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournaments are set. The men’s field is at 64 teams after the First Four games wrapped up on Wednesday night. Xavier secured the No. 11 seed in the Midwest region by beating Texas, while Mount St. Mary’s took down American earlier in the evening.
The men’s tournament saw a dramatic finish in Tuesday’s opening game of the First Four, with Alabama State edging out St. Francis 70-68 on a layup with seconds left. This win earns them a spot against No. 1 overall seed Auburn on Thursday.
On the women’s side, UCLA is the top-seeded team in the tournament. The other three No. 1s are South Carolina, Texas, and USC. The First Four games for the women begin on Wednesday, while the men’s First Four takes place on Tuesday.
