The field is set and people are making their brackets, and that is when you know March Madness is officially underway! There is nothing quite as exciting as the NCAA Tournament, and we're hoping this year can live up to how awesome the 2016 one was.
Will Villanova repeat, or will a new team be on the come up? Can North Carolina get revenge, or will their rivals in Duke take home the crown once again? Can hyped NBA prospect Lonzo Ball lead UCLA to the promise land?
I guess we will see, but to get your memory jogging, here's a look at every single NCAA Basketball champion year-by-year—dating all the way back to 1939!
