NCAA Tournament 2012 Bracket: Full List of March Madness Games

The NCAA Tournament Committee has officially unveiled its 68 teams and March Madness is finally upon us.

The committee, chaired by former Connecticut athletic director Jeff Hathaway, put together a bracket that is sure to be criticized and critiqued by everyone under the sun.

Some quick notes:

No. 1 seeds: Kentucky, Syracuse, North Carolina, and Michigan State all earned top seeds.

Just sneaking in: Some of the biggest surprises entries into the NCAA Tournament were Iona, California and North Carolina State.

Bubble burst: For some Sunday was great, while for others it was bitter disappointment. Some of the teams that just missed the cut were Seton Hall, Drexel, Miami, Northwestern, Washington and Mississippi State.

No easy bracket for Kentucky: Although the Wildcats earned the overall No. 1 seed, they didn't earn the easiest bracket. Standing in their path to the Final Four are: defending champion Connecticut; Indiana; and possibly either Baylor or Duke. Not exactly what coach John Calipari was hoping for.
