Now, eight teams will go head-to-head to secure the final vacant spots in the 2025 NCAA Tournament bracket. On Tuesday and Wednesday, March Madness will officially begin with the First Four matchups.

The SEC got a record 14 teams in the tournament, but went 8-6 in the first round. Of those eight wins, seven came against teams seeded 11th or worse. Other than Arkansas’ win over Kansas, the league lost almost all of the toss-up games.
