Houston is the desired destination of all 68 teams selected in this year’s men’s NCAA basketball tournament. But before reaching the Final Four and having an opportunity to win a national title, teams must first navigate their regional schedules set up by the selection committee.

It won’t be an easy path for any of the teams as March Madness brings the potential for upsets along the way. Brackets surely will get busted by those unanticipated surprises and some teams will become Cinderella stories.

A look at the complete tournament schedule from the First Four to the final game so you can follow along the journey.

All Times EDT.
