March Madness 2023: What to know about every team in the men's NCAA tournament bracket

[br /]

We have our bracket!

[br /]

In men's college basketball, the chaos will soon begin now that the field of 68 has been announced. And this season, it seems as if anything could happen. Maybe the powerhouses will dominate the next three weeks of action. Or maybe a team like last year's Saint Peter's Peacocks will put together another incredible run.

The tournament will tip Tuesday with the First Four from Dayton, Ohio, and the first round begins Thursday. Visit this link for the complete 2023 NCAA tournament schedule. (For a list of how the 32 automatic bids reached March Madness, visit ESPN's "tickets punched" page.)

We understand you don't know as much as we do about the 68 teams in the greatest multiweek sporting event in the world. (Yeah, we're biased.) But we're here to help you win your bracket, whether it's an office pool or just a competition between you and your friends.

This year, we've developed a star system to define a particular team's shot at advancing to the Final Four:

[br /]

• Five stars means a team has it all, and we wouldn't be surprised if it made a run to Houston.
• Four stars means a team hasn't always been consistent, but if it gets rolling, it has a reasonable shot.
• Three stars means a team is talented but must play the best basketball of its season -- and get lucky.
• Two stars means you must be a gambler if you pick this team to get to Houston because that would be one of the greatest surprises in college basketball history. (Check last year's bracket to see that it's not impossible, though.)
• One star means if these teams get that far, it's time to set the entire bracket on fire because this is more rare than a lightning strike.

Either way, we're not culpable for your bracket failures. But we take full responsibility for your victories.
