2009 March Madness/NCAA Men's Basketball Printable Brackets

The 2009 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament will start this week, and many people are wondering where exactly they can find brackets to view and print. Great news: the internet has several sources for printable brackets for both the men's and women's tournaments.

In this article, I will outline a few places on the internet where you can find NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament brackets.

ESPN.com

ESPN.com offers printable brackets for the tournament, and they are a great source for anything college basketball. They offer printable brackets in GIF and PDF format, so you can open the brackets with your program of choice-either online or with Adobe Acrobat Reader/Apple Preview. These brackets are attractive, clean-cut choices for running any bracket pool.

ESPN.com also offers a great source for anything related to March Madness. Check out their blogs, articles, and polls to get more insight into the bracket and help with making your selections. I personally cannot imagine going through a March Madness tournament without this website.

CBSSports.com

CBS Sports ran the official selection show, so it makes sense that they would have printable brackets on hand. You can print one out at the website. These brackets are a bit busier, with clearly marked boxes instead of just lines (like the ESPN brackets). These brackets are commonly used for paper pools, but they are also fun just to print out and hang up if you want to keep track of your picks at the office or in a workspace.

CBSSports also offers a great amount of NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament content, but I found personally that ESPN.com offers more content on each of the particular brackets.

Printyourbrackets.com

If you're just looking for an easy website to remember to get a bracket, check out printyourbrackets.com, as they offer basic brackets for any March Madness player. This website does not have an awful lot of content with regard to the tournament, but you can view last year's bracket in a clear printable form, which should help if you want to refer back to how each team performed last year.

This website also updates the bracket after each round, so if you want to play a round-by-round league, this is a great place to come get an updated bracket to play a new game.
