Updated March Madness Bracket & Second Round Matchups: NCAA Tournament Odds & Predictions

The 2025 NCAA Tournament is off and running, and things have gone mostly according to plan through one day of action across the country. Unless, of course, you're a fan of the Clemson Tigers, Missouri Tigers, Kansas Jayhawks, or Louisville Cardinals.

Those were the four programs to be upset on Day 1. We've updated our March Madness bracket to reflect those changes heading into the second round, with the McNeese Cowboys, Drake Bulldogs, Arkansas Razorbacks, and Creighton Bluejays advancing.

Here is our updated March Madness bracket entering Friday's play, with Saturday's eight matchups set.
