The college basketball season is well underway now and has served up plenty of awesome action in 2022/23. Whichever team you support and whichever conference they play in, you are sure to have seen some great play on court as the games have flown by.

Of course, we are now at that point in the season when everyone begins thinking about the annual March Madness tournament. But when is it taking place and how can you get involved with it?

When is March Madness 2023?

March Madness this year is due to take place from March 14 to April 3, 2023, across a selection of top venues in college basketball. Starting with the First Four matches in Dayton, Ohio, it will then progress all the way to the Final Four games in Houston.

As in previous years, the tournament is made up of the top 68 sides in college ball. These are the 32 teams that won their conference and then a further 36 that will be selected for entry by the organizers. With so many sides battling it out in this elimination competition, the games will come thick and fast, as usual!

How can you get involved with March Madness 2023? 

The most obvious way is simply to catch games live, either on TV or via online streams. This enables you to keep up with what is happening and also keep tabs on how your favorite team is doing.

Another great option is to bet on March Madness 2023. As the BetMGM march madness promo shows, this can be lots of fun and allows you to take advantage of the special offers that sportsbooks run for this event. Betting on games in March Madness also helps you get closer to the action and stay in touch with how games are panning out across each bracket.

Of course, setting up a March Madness Fantasy league for 2023 with friends is another great way to get more involved with it. This will help you not only flex your own coaching muscles but also get even more thrills from it as it progresses. As with fantasy football leagues, this is a great way of adding even more fun to following sports.

Who might win March Madness 2023? 

Although they might not be top of the pack at the bookmakers yet, a lot of people have Arizona down as serious title contenders. It has been 26 years since they last won the National Championship, after all, and it’s high time they tasted glory again.

The team has been in fine form overall this year and could be tough opposition if they bring this form into the tournament. With free-scoring forward Ąžuolas Tubelis and talented center Oumar Ballo to rely on, they look the real deal.

Another heavily fancied side coming into this year’s event are Houston. Coach Kelvin Sampson has done an excellent job with the team and they look well-drilled defensively. They will need Marcus Sasser to remain fit and on form to have a decent chance of winning it, though. He has been a real standout for them in this campaign and will be desperate to win the title on home soil in Houston during the Final Four matches.

Who else has a good chance of winning the championship?

The Crimson Tide from Alabama are riding high currently and look almost unstoppable. A crushing 101-44 win against Vanderbilt recently shows just how destructive they can be on their day! They also managed to beat Houston when facing them earlier this season, which shows the level they are at. This makes them real challengers and a team no one will fancy meeting come March.

Their main weapon is the elite offense they have – and 6-foot-9 wing Brandon Miller. He averaged around 20 points over the Tide’s first 20 games and this shows the firepower they have to blow teams away with.

It is also wise to bring Purdue into the equation when looking at genuine title challengers. They have recently moved back to the top of the college power rankings as of the end of January 2023 and have really come into their own. Of course, they have been on fire, in general, this season and have won 19 of their first 20 games!

The main man for them is elite-level talent Zach Edey, who has really impressed this season. With their defensive play also looking a lot better this year, they seem to have the complete game to bring home the championship.

Countdown to 2023’s March Madness is on!

Anyone who loves following college basketball loves the sheer craziness that March Madness brings every year. 2023’s edition looks set to show just why, as we watch the best college sides battle it out to take home the acclaimed National Championship.
