Get your March Madness brackets ready. The NCAA Tournament field was announced Sunday and now the annual rite of predicting who will win national college basketball title begins.

The top four seeds were predictable. North Carolina is No. 1 in the East Region and will be playing close to home in Raleigh, N.C. this coming weekend and in Charlotte, N.C. starting March 27 (should they make it that far).

Memphis, which finished the season at 33-1, is the top seed in the South Region. Should the Tigers advance to the Elite Eight round, they could meet Texas, the two seed, in Houston.

The Big 12 champion Kansas Jayhawks are No. 1 in the Midwest Region, which will be played in Detroit. The Jayhawks also have Georgetown and Wisconsin in their bracket.

In the West, the UCLA Bruins will attempt to reach the Final Four for a third straight year and appear to have an easy road to that pinnacle. The Bruins play close to home in Anaheim, Calif., in the first and second rounds then could advance to Phoenix.

The Final Four will be played in San Antonio, with the national semifinals on April 5 and the title game on April 7.
