After a year away from the beloved college basketball tournament, March Madness is back along with our March Madness Bracket Challenge.

The Eclipse will run its fifth annual March Madness Challenge for the 2021 NCAA Men’s basketball tournament.

Bracket submissions must be entered before noon on Thursday, March 18.

Students can compete for prizes while staff can play for pride and the challenge is free for all participants.

Students and staff may submit up to two brackets but can only use one email address.

The player with the most points and accurate bracket will receive a $10 gift card to a local restaurant. The runner-up will receive a $5 gift card.
