March Madness: The History of the NCAA Basketball Tournament

Everything Everywhere Daily: History, Science, Geography & More

Every March, the United States experiences a period known as March Madness.  It is the time when college basketball teams compete for a national championship. 

The process of crowning a national champion is a months-long process where teams vie for a chance to make the national tournament. 

Once there, in theory, every team that makes the big dance has a shot at becoming a champion. All you have to do is win five, or maybe six, consecutive games. 

Learn more about March Madness and how the NCAA Basketball tournament works on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
