Run squares for any college basketball game. March Madness, conference tournaments, or regular season matchups. Our free platform handles live scoring and winner detection automatically.
Pick a game and create your squares in seconds.
College basketball squares use the same 10x10 grid format as football squares, but adapted for basketball's two-half structure. Winners are determined by the last digit of each team's score at halftime and at the final buzzer. The game requires zero basketball knowledge to enjoy.
College basketball's unpredictability, especially during March Madness, makes it perfect for squares. Upsets happen constantly, Cinderella teams emerge, and every game feels like it could go either way. That excitement translates perfectly to a squares game. For a full explanation of the rules, visit our How to Play page.
Unlike the NBA, college basketball uses two 20-minute halves. Our standard format gives you a halftime winner and a final winner, simple and exciting.
