The 2026 NCAA men’s basketball tournament officially opened up on Tuesday night, and we did a Feed post to note the schedule for that pair of games in the First Four in Dayton. Today, however, we have four NCAA tournament games to track! There’s the other two men’s First Four games in Dayton as well as the front half of the women’s First Four with one game at Cameron Indoor Stadium and another at Texas’ Moody Center.
Four teams are earning an NCAA tournament win tonight, and I think it’s safe to say that the most important/interesting game of the day is Miami vs SMU on the men’s side. The RedHawks took their first loss of the season in the MAC tournament quarterfinals after ripping off 31 straight regular season wins. I feel that it’s very safe to say that essentially nobody outside of Dallas is cheering for the Mustangs in this one.
Here’s your full schedule for the day, with all times Central, as always. Please feel free to use the comments section as an open conversation thread for anything that entertains you as the evening progresses.
