Who will win March Madness? See our NCAA Tournament bracket predictions, Final Four picks

[ASFN Admin]

It's tournament time.

March Madness begins with the 2025 NCAA Tournament First Four games on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the first round beginning Thursday.

Can UConn and Jersey City's own Dan Hurley pull off the ultra-rare feat of a three-peat, something that hasn't been done since the UCLA dynasty led by legendary coach John Wooden in the early 1970s, or will a new champion be crowned for the first time since Kansas in 2022?

Could a Rick Pitino-led St. John's squad, red-hot after winning its first Big East Tournament championship in 25 years, make it back to the Final Four for the first time since 1985 and go even further with a victory in the national championship?

Here are our staff predictions for the Final Four, and which school will ultimately be the last team standing and win the 2025 NCAA Tournament.
