2023 NCAA bracket: Scores, stats, for March Madness men’s tournament

One Shining Moment | 2023 NCAA tournament

No. 4 seed UConn collected its fifth national championship in 2023 after trouncing San Diego State 76-59. 

Forward Adama Sanogo and guard Jordan Hawkins helped the Huskies win by an ;average margin of 20 points per game.

The 2023 March Madness men’s tournament saw plenty of upsets. For the first time in tournament history, all four No. 1 seeds were eliminated before the Elite Eight, including a first-round knockout of Purdue by No. 16 Fairleigh Dickinson (FDU). That was the second time a 16 seed defeated a No. 1 since the tournament expanded to 64 teams. The Final Four — featuring No. 4 UConn, No. 5 SDSU, No. 5 Miami (FL) and No. 9 Florida Atlantic (FAU) — included zero top three seeds.
