The bracket has been revealed, and the 2024 NCAA men's basketball tournament is set. Andy and On3's resident bracketologist James Fletcher III break down each region. 

Who is ripe for a first-round upset? Is it Gonzaga against McNeese? Auburn against Yale? Washington State against Drake? Clemson against New Mexico? 

Will Purdue and star big man Zach Edey copy 2019 Virginia and follow losing to a No. 16 seed the previous year by winning the national title? Or will Connecticut become the first repeat champ since Florida in 2007? Is there a No. 1 seed that won't survive the first weekend this year? 

Who will be the stars of the tournament? Will Terrence Shannon Jr. of llinois score in bunches? Will N.C. State's 275-pound senior D.J. Burns help engineer an upset of Texas Tech? Will McNeese's Shahada Wells be a household name next week?
