Of the 68 teams in the NCAA tournament, 48 wear either Nike (47) or Jordan Brand (1) shoes according to Sports Business Daily. That includes all four 1-seeds and 11 of the top 16 seeds.
Adidas is a distant second with 19 schools. However, they do have three of the 2-seeds (Kansas, Wisconsin, Michigan) and the defending champions, Louisville, a 4-seed. Under Armour, worn by Stephen F. Austin, is the only other shoe brand in the tournament.
