The 68 DI men’s teams were revealed on Sunday, and the single-elimination (!!!) tournament officially begins tonight.

Beyond the Madness, it was a truly incredible weekend for women’s sports, with records broken across the PWHL and NWSL.

This year’s women’s March Madness is expected to outperform the men’s across a variety of metrics, in large part thanks to Sedona Prince’s whistleblowing in 2021 that shed light on the gender disparity between the men’s and women’s tournaments. Here’s how the competition has grown in the years since.

The NWSL is selling like hot cakes — within the last week, two of its highest-valued franchises have put up the ‘for sale’ sign. A day after the San Diego Wave announced its impending $120M sale, Sportico reported that Angel City hopes to sell a controlling stake amid ownership friction.

Last night’s dramatic bracket reveal featured first-time dancers and perennial powerhouses aplenty, setting the stage for this week’s March Madness tip-off.

Men’s conference tournament finals tend to be lost in the Selection Sunday sauce, but this year’s grand finales — and the 21 top seeds who were left hoping for an at-large natty bid — were too wild to ignore.

According to The Telegraph, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) wants to merge the WTA and ATP tennis tours with a limited-time, $2B offer that expires in 90 days. The rebranded PIF Tour would reportedly replace the proposed Premium Tour, a joint WTA–ATP circuit that’s been in development since January.

Beyond arming each team with splashy new kits, the league is evolving to stay competitive with Europe’s pro women’s leagues, like England’s Women’s Super League (WSL), Spain’s Liga F, and France’s Division 1 Féminine.

New attempt at sportswashing just dropped: Saudi Arabia has reportedly offered to invest $2B to unite the WTA and ATP Tours, the latest effort by the oil-rich country to steer attention away from their atrocious human rights record through sport.

As legendary Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo said, the regular-season slate is wiped clean when single-elimination conference tournaments begin — and this week served as a perfect reminder of that as last night’s shocking scores set up some unexpected matchups today.

The list of 10 semifinalists for the Naismith Award — one of college hoops’ most prestigious MVP awards — dropped yesterday. The stand-outs? The only underclassmen: Three freshmen guards who already led their squads to conference tourney titles.
