Welcome to the chaos! We’re here to help. Below, you’ll find a downloadable and printable version of the 2022 Men’s NCAA Tournament bracket — in both blue and black, since we wanted to give you one more choice to make on top of the infinite ones you’ll be making over the next few days. Print it, fill it out, do what you will with it — we wanted to provide a clean, user-friendly download as you wade your way through March Madness. NOTE: The brackets link to a downloadable pdf of the same color.
Indiana and Texas Southern won First Four games on Tuesday to advance to the first round so we’ve updated the brackets. On Wednesday, Notre Dame outlasted Rutgers in double overtime and Wright State won its first NCAA Tournament game.
Every day this week we’re bringing you our favorite upsets, favorites and everything in between with our Bracket Breakers model and Austin Mock’s tournament picks for every game.
