NCAA bracket 2026: Printable March Madness bracket for men’s NCAA Tournament

Monday night’s national title game tilt between No. 1 seed Michigan and No. 2 seed UConn will mark a fitting conclusion to the 2025-26 season as dominant Wolverines seek to prevent Huskies from winning their third championship in four years. Michigan reached this point with a ruthlessly efficient run while UConn soldiered through some ups and downs to reach the precipice of a true dynasty.

How UConn will counter Michigan’s towering trio of bigs is a major question, but Huskies coach Dan Hurley has established himself as a leading tactician for a reason. The Wolverines will have plenty to worry about as well, as they seek to contain a UConn attack that has been led by big man Tarris Reed throughout the NCAA Tournament.

Reed, a Michigan transfer, is in the midst of a legendary run through the Big Dance that would be capped in epic fashion if he’s able to take out his former team on the game’s biggest stage. UConn is 6-0 all-time in national title games while Michigan is just 1-6. But history will only go so far when these two teams step out onto the floor to decide a champion once and for all.

Tracking the teams as they move on only adds to the fun and you’ll want to print out a March Madness bracket and begin making picks and following teams from the first round to the final game in Indianapolis.
