Men -March Madness 2025: Ranking of the remaining 16 teams

After a quiet first round in the NCAA tournament 2025, the fans wanted more drama. The 32 remaining teams delivered.

Houston got a late block to seal a victory over Gonzaga. John Calipari sent Rick Pitino home in a battle from the former coaches from Kentucky. Byu survived against Wisconsin. Florida’s Walter Clayton Jr. met a clutch-3 pointer to defeat the one in the one defending Champion Uconn, and then Derik Queen beat Summer to send Maryland to Sweet 16 for the first time since 2016.

There are no mid-majors in the field, the SEC has seven teams on. In fact, only four conferences are represented in the regional semi -finals.

If we are lucky, every game in Atlanta, Newark, Indianapolis and San Francisco will offer even more drama and unforgettable moments.

We are here to build a new world order, with the 16 teams that were left for the national title 2025.
