Only one of the four No.1 seeds – Gonzaga, Arizona, Kansas and Baylor – remains standing at the final stage. Defending champions Baylor were dropped in the second round while Gonzaga, who made it to last year's championship game before losing to Baylor, were knocked out in the Sweet 16.
Kansas vs UNC is set to be an epic finale to the NCAA men's tournament. Kansas are currently four point favourites over their opponents, the Tar Heels. Can the Jayhawks win their sixth title? Or will be a seventh title for UNC? Will Kansas David McCormack be the deciding factor?
"I’ve said all along he’s the one guy on our team that can get 15 and 10 just by being a presence,” Jayhawks Coach Bill Self said of McCormack after his side beat Villanova in the Final Four. "He was fabulous."
Still clinging to this year's bracket? (here's a printable version suited to the Bracket Game).

Watch March Madness 2022 from abroad using a VPN
Even if you have subscribed to the relevant March Madness rights holders, you won't be able to use them when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, such that the servers and services you’re accessing aren’t aware of what you’re doing. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.
There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN which offers a 100 per cent risk-free money back guarantee. If you're not happy with the service any time within the first 30-days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.
How to use a VPN
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. ExpressVPN is the one we recommend.
2. Open up the VPN app and choose the location of the service you wish to access. For March Madness you may wish to choose 'USA' for Sling TV.
3. Then head over to Sling TV on your browser or device and enjoy the March Madness live stream.
If, for whatever reason, you can't get it working, do remember that you have the comfort of a 30-day money back guarantee with ExpressVPN. You could also try NordVPN, which also comes with a 30-day money back guarantee, and Surfshark which offers 24 hour assistance.
