Only 12 teams are currently competing for the 2026 men's NCAA Tournament title, following a four-game slate featuring three schools seeded fifth or higher. The ninth-seeded Iowa, after defeating top-seeding Florida, is expected to join them in the Elite Eight. Other notable games include St. John's challenging No. 1 overall seed, where it will need to maintain its focus on defense and three-point shooting. Meanwhile, third-seared Spartans are ranked higher than second-seated Huskies by a single spot in the rankings. Meanwhile in the East and Midwest regions, Alabama's path to victory is simple: making a number of three-pointers and keeping Michigan star guard Labaron Philon Jr. contained.
