The NCAA March Madness Men’s Bracket Preview will give college basketball fans an early glimpse at the top contenders to make the 2025 NCAA Tournament on Saturday. With just over four weeks to go until Selection Sunday, fans can tune in at 12:30 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+ to get a look at how the top 16 teams in the bracket stack up entering the day’s action.

NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee Chair Bubba Cunningham will join CBS analysts Clark Kellogg, Jay Wright, and Seth Davis in the studio along with host Adam Zucker to break down where things stand as college basketball’s regular season hits the home stretch.

“This Saturday, CBS Sports & TNT Sports unveil the current top 16 seeds for the NCAA Men’s Tournament at 12:30 PM on CBS. Committee Chair Bubba Cunningham joins Adam, Clark, Jay, and Seth in studio. Coverage continues at 1 PM on CBS Sports Network as Jerry Palm joins the show.”

History suggests the bracket preview, which started in 2017, is a fairly good indicator of how things will play out in the actual 68-team bracket. According to NCAA director of media coordination/statistics David Worlock, 84% of teams featured in the bracket preview have remained on the top four seed lines in the final bracket.

One matter of particular intrigue will be the SEC’s representation near the top of the bracket. Entering the weekend, five of the top eight seeds in Jerry Palm’s Bracketology are from the league.
