The 2022 NCAA Tournament is the most “normal” iteration of March Madness in several years.
That’s no indictment for this year’s tournament: Indeed, ‘normal’ is more than welcome amid the COVID-19 pandemic, a year after the 2021 NCAA Tournament took place with massive restrictions entirely in Indiana State and that the 2020 NCAA Tournament has been canceled entirely. .
Also, “normal” doesn’t mean this year’s NCAA Tournament has to be any less infuriating.

What scenarios will unfold throughout the tournament? Mike Krzyzewski makes one final run in a sixth and final NCAA Tournament championship with the Blue Devils. Gonzaga will be looking to redeem himself after missing a perfect game in 2021. The SEC includes several teams in the top four seeding lines. And the Pac-12 will be looking to break through for its first national championship since Arizona won it all in 1997.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Regardless of what happens, The Sporting News will be there to guide you through it all – times, dates, scores, highlights and more:
