2026 NCAA tournament in Philly: Live updates, scores, highlights

UConn finishes the job against Furman

Furman was game, no doubt, and the crowd that stuck around for the late tipoff was big and lively. But Connecticut’s size was simply too much, and the Huskies pulled away at the end for an 82-71 victory.

Tarris Reed Jr. led the way with an extraordinary stat line: 31 points on 12-for-15 shooting — all from two-point range — and 27 rebounds, including 11 at the defensive end.

Alex Karaban was also a big factor in the second half, scoring 15 of his 22 points after intermission.

Sunday’s tipoff times are set — and it’s a late slate

If you were hoping Sunday’s games would be in the afternoon, your hopes have been dashed.

Philadelphia’s tip times will be at night: No. 3 Virginia vs. No. 6 Tennessee at 6:10 p.m., and No. 2 Connecticut vs. No. 7 UCLA at 8:45 p.m.

Both games will be on TNT, with Andrew Catalon, Steve Lappas, and Evan Washburn on the call.

Nick Sirianni gets booed by UConn-Furman fans in attendance

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has been here for most of the day, and was just shown on screen.

A lot of the crowd booed him, though I’m sure there are plenty of Giants and Patriots fans in the UConn contingent.

There were cheers, too, and once the boos died down, a string of Eagles chants.

UConn holds off Furman at halftime

If the deluge of boos that greeted UConn before tipoff was surprising, this was even more so: midway through the first half, No. 15 seed Furman took a 19-18 lead on the No. 2 Huskies.

What got into the side that was not just the favorite, but expected to cruise?

For one thing, a bout of bad three-point shooting — and it lasted the entire half. At intermission, the Huskies are just 1-for-14 from beyond the arc, a big reason why their lead is 40-36 and not more.

Tyrese Maxey never played in the NCAA Tournament. Possibly for the better?

Tyrese Maxey never got to play in the NCAA Tournament. His Kentucky squad, after winning the SEC regular season championship, was the top overall seed in the SEC tournament and was likely to be a top-two seed in the NCAA Tournament.

The entire tournament was cancelled due to to the pandemic, and with it, Maxey’s chance at March Madness.

Maxey posted on X late Friday night that watching the tournament always makes him long for what might have been — but, if he’d led the Wildcats to a deep run in the tournament they expected to have, he may never have fallen to the Sixers at 21st overall.

A lot of boos for UConn

Connecticut revels in being a villain, across the Big East and beyond. But considering that the Huskies are the biggest ticket draw of the eight teams in Philadelphia, it’s remarkable how many fans are booing them tonight.

There was a hailstorm of when they took the floor for pregame warmups. During starting lineups, there were at least enough to match the UConn fans’ cheers.

We’ll see if that stays the case as more of the Huskies’ faithful come in from the concourses, but it’s notable for now.

Bachelor party group reps colonial-themed wigs at Xfinity Mobile Arena

Travis Honore quickly won over the crowd late in the 4th quarter between UCF and UCLA. Honore, clad in a colonial-themed wig and jacket, was the arena favorite during the dance cam. Even the UCF mascot got booed to give him more time in the sun.

Honore is from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, here for his friend Kyle Koch’s bachelor party. The whole group came in colonial-themed wigs, and Honore joked that the groom was a descendant of Benjamin Franklin, something another friend vehemently denied.

The group all mostly attended LSU, who didn’t make the tournament, and didn’t come planning to cheer for any specific team, just for “some great college basketball.”

UCLA wins a surprisingly close one

There was a moment early in the second half when Central Florida drew to within 46-43, and the Knights fans believed a comeback was on the cards.

For almost the entire rest of the game, UCLA got far enough ahead that it didn’t seem possible. But when Central Florida’s Jordan Burks hit a three-pointer from the corner with 8.3 seconds to go, suddenly it was 72-69, and the arena erupted.

The Bruins closed it out from the free-throw line, though, holding on to win 75-71. Eric Dailey Jr. scored 20 points, while Burks led all scorers with 22.

UCLA player lost a tooth fighting for a loose ball

The last guys on a college hoops bench have a few jobs: clap hard after a made baskets, stand up and high five players when they get subbed out, and walk onto the court during time outs. On Friday, UCLA’s Jack Seider was handed a new assignment: retrieve a teammate’s tooth.

UCLA’s Skyy Clark lost his tooth in South Philly late in the second half against UCF after being elbowed while scraping on the floor for a loose ball. Clark left the game without a tooth. Luckily, Seidler spotted it on the floor and picked it up for him. Clark was attended to on the bench with a toothless grin, looking the part of a Broad Street Bully.

Wildcats tied with Texas Tech at the half

Jasmine Bascoe joins Kelsey Joens in double figures with eight of her 10 points coming in the second quarter. But she picked up her second and third fouls within the last 14 seconds of the second quarter.

Villanova and Texas Tech are tied 26 apiece at halftime.

Villanova women get ready for tipoff

Villanova women are taking the court here in Baton Rouge, La.

The No. 10 seed Wildcats are getting ready to face No. 7 seed Texas Tech of the Big 12. The winner gets LSU, which took down Jacksonville, 116-58, a little while ago

Not sure about your brackets, but I picked the Wildcats over the Red Raiders. And turns out, I’m far from alone. Yahoo (via The Oklahoman) and NCAA.com also had Villanova as a trendy upset pick. Will we be right? Tipoff is just a few minutes away.

UCF scores on its own basket 🫣

Don’t expect upsets in the night games

The crowd in Philadelphia badly wanted to cheer Wright State and Miami (Ohio) to upsets in the afternoon, but it didn’t happen.

It’s even less likely to happen in the night games.

No. 2 seed Connecticut, the biggest-name team of the weekend in town, is an overwhelming favorite to beat No. 15 Furman in the last contest of the night. (As I said earlier today, it’s so silly to have that game tip off at 10 p.m. local time.)

Kevin Willard goes viral after sideline interview: ‘It’s a joke’

SAN DIEGO — Kevin Willard going viral in the NCAA Tournament, a March tradition unlike any other. Or something like that.

In a sideline interview with Lauren Shehadi early in the first half of Villanova’s 86-76 first-round loss to Utah State, Willard joked that he was going to fire his staff after the Aggies executed multiple baseline-out-of-bounds plays for easy baskets while grabbing a nine-point lead in the first half.

Willard was asked about the comment after the game and was visibly frustrated by the question, cutting off the question-asker by saying: “It’s a joke.”

Villanova can’t slow down Utah State

If Villanova was going to beat Utah State and advance to the Round of 32, it was going to need to limit the ability of the Aggies’ guards to get into scoring areas and cause havoc.

But Villanova’s inexperience was the difference in the closing minutes. The Wildcats, whose season finishes with a 24-9 record, had plenty of chances to win. They led by 10 with 17 minutes left.

Instead, the Aggies advanced to face top-seeded Arizona. The Wildcats’ season ended in an 86-76 loss.

Miami’s viral Speedo-wearing fan ejected from arena

One of Miami of Ohio’s viral speedo-wearing fans was kicked out of the arena during the second half for being too undressed.

A big group of fans from Miami’s swim team went to the RedHawks’ First Four game in Dayton, and by all accounts were allowed to be there. But one of the team’s alumni who tried to continue the bit here in Philadelphia wasn’t allowed to do it by arena security.

A few of that fan’s friends were also escorted out.

Tennessee came ready, and leads big at halftime

Tennessee coach Rick Barnes came into the game somewhat worried about his team, which went 27-11 across the regular season and SEC Tournament.

Whatever message he gave his players came through, because they showed up big in the first half — Ja’Kobi Gillespie in particular.

Gillespie poured in 22 points on 8-for-12 shooting, including 5-for-6 from three-point range, to lead the Volunteers to a commanding 51-32 lead over Miami (Ohio) at halftime.

Villanova carries a two-point lead at halftime

Bryce Lindsay’s hot shooting has Villanova ahead, 39-37, over Utah State at halftime at Viejas Arena in San Diego.

Lindsay’s three-pointer with 40 seconds left in the first half was his fourth of the game, and the Wildcats will need more of his shooting prowess in the second half to keep their lead over the Aggies.

Utah State led by as many as nine during an early surge that saw the Aggies get easy baskets around the rim. But Villanova settled in and put together some stops.

Potential Sixers draft target suffers injury

Iowa State star Joshua Jefferson suffered a leg injury in the first half of the Cyclones’ opening round game against Tennessee State. Jefferson, an All-American who is a potential first-round pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, left the game to receive x-rays and was spotted on crutches near the end of the first half. He is considered doubtful to return to Friday’s first round matchup.

Jefferson was on my list of potential prospects who could be of interest to the Sixers late in the first round, thanks to his playmaking ability at forward and his physicality. But losing Jefferson will have far greater ripple effects for Iowa State, who will face Kentucky in the second round if they advance.

Miami fans start to fill Xfinity Mobile Arena

Miami fans have shown up in force for their game against Tennessee, and to no surprise, they’ve got almost the entire arena on their side.

When Chambersburg, Pa., native Brant Byers scored the game’s opening points with a three-pointer, he was greeted with a big roar. Some of the crowd might have even known that Byers spent his senior year of high school near Philadelphia at Perkiomen School.

On a quick trip to the concourse, I ran into a RedHawks fan named Dave who wore a t-shirt with a pointed message: “I’d like to know where Bruce Pearl is right now.”

Jacari White’s fan club shows support in South Philly

Every time Jacari White, Virginia’s latest March Madness hero, walks on the court, his fan club, the Jacarmy, stands at attention to welcome him.

The Virginia student section started wearing hunter green shirts with White’s face on them, complete with his signature white headband, earlier this year.

Dean Heflin, a current Wharton student who graduated from UVA in 2022, and his friends went to see the Cavaliers play in Charlotte earlier this year, and after White went 9-for-9, scoring 25 points, they knew they wanted to bring it back for the tournament.

Virginia survives Wright State’s upset bid

It went right down to the wire, to the thrill of the big crowd in South Philadelphia, but No. 3 Virginia survived No. 14 Wright State’s upset bid with an 82-73 win.

Wright State led 43-38 at halftime, 61-58 with 11:08 left in the second half, and 70-67 with 5:32 to go, thrilling everyone in the crowd who wasn’t rooting for Virginia.

And that was a lot of people, with the stands full for the first game at Xfinity Mobile Arena. That was good to see, since none of the four teams in the afternoon session are box office draws.

Villanova takes the floor in San Diego

For the first time since 2022, the Villanova men’s basketball team is on the floor warming up for a first-round NCAA Tournament game.

The eighth-seeded Wildcats are getting ready to take on the West Regional’s No. 9 seed, Utah State.

The winner gets a date on Sunday with top-seeded Arizona, which looked like a team ready for a deep tournament run in its 92-48 blowout win over Long Island.

Wright State powers back. Can it pull off the upset?

Virginia took a 67-61 lead, a run that looked like they may have finally buried a pesky Wright State team looking for an upset.

But the Raiders went on a 9-0 run over two minutes to retake the lead with an emphatic layup from Michael Cooper off a Michael Imariagbe block. Wright State may only have a small passionate fan section, but the No. 14 seed has quickly won over the neutrals in the assembled crowd.

The two teams are hanging in it with Virginia up, 73-70, entering the final media timeout.

Smokey Dawg’s early flight to Philly

After waking up at 6 a.m. to catch his flight from Knoxville, Tenn., to Philadelphia, Smokey Dawg finally sat in the crowd at Xfinity Mobile Arena with the Estep family to take in the sights of March Madness.

The small plush dog became part of the family after Kayla Estep bought him at a Tennessee football game. Since then, they’ve been chronicling the dog’s journey cheering on the Volunteers with his very own TikTok page. Today’s Tennessee game against Miami of Ohio is the latest stop on the list.

“I married into this lovely family,” Kayla said. “They go to all the ball games. We have season tickets for football and basketball and we do a lot of traveling with it. That’s why we’re here and we love it. We hope the Vol’s win so we can come back Sunday.”

— Ariel Simpson

An upset brewing in South Philly

When Miami (Ohio) booked its ticket to Philadelphia for Friday’s games, all eyes immediately turned to the No. 11 seed RedHawks’ matchup with No. 6 Tennessee as a potential upset.

But might there be one before then?

No. 14 Wright State leads No. 3 Virginia, 43-38, at halftime of the first of today’s four games in town.

A sudden explosion of cheers in South Philly

During a substitution timeout in Virginia-Wright State, the crowd suddenly exploded with noise out of nowhere.

Or at least, out of nowhere for those of us sitting courtside and not looking up.

It turns out they were split-screening the game here with the wild end of Kentucky-Santa Clara, where each team hit a three-pointer in the closing seconds to send the game to over time.

Kenny Smith calls in sick

With Friday’s coverage of the NCAA tournament underway, one veteran analyst had to call in sick.

Longtime TNT analyst Kenny Smith is “under the weather,” host Adam Zucker announced at the top of the broadcast. Filling in for Smith is former WNBAer turned broadcaster Renee Montgomery.

Smith left early Thursday following the Howard vs. Michigan game. It’s unclear when he’ll be back, but longtime colleague Charles Barkley didn’t seem to concerned about Smith’s long-term health.

A NCAA Tournament scheduling quirk is bad for Philly fans

If you’re a March Madness devotee, you know the rhythms of the first two days by heart: four games in each of the early-afternoon, late-afternoon, evening, and late night windows. But this year, part of the routine is a problem for fans in Philadelphia.

The tip times are always spread out a bit across the day’s four host cities. This time, they’re Philly, Tampa, St. Louis, and San Diego (where Villanova is). Usually, the venues start from east to west, so that action doesn’t go too late here and doesn’t start in the morning in Mountain or Pacific time zone cities.

That made for an unwelcome surprise when the first-round schedule was revealed, and set Philly as the last of Friday’s cities to get going. St. Louis is first, then Tampa, then San Diego, then here.

In Philly, fans wait for the madness to commence

For the first time in four years, the NCAA Tournament has made its way to Philadelphia, with Xfinity Mobile Arena hosting first and second round games on Friday and Sunday. College basketball fans gathered into the arena wearing their school’s merch and chanting their fight songs as they patiently waited for the madness to commence.

For 17-year-old Sean Carlson, today’s event was a family affair. He made the trip from Virginia with his father Daniel Carlson, who is a graduate of the University of Virginia, to support his brother Daniel, a cheerleader for the men’s basketball team.

“Obviously, looking around it’s not just the schools that are playing today, it’s everybody,” Carlson said. “Everybody wants basketball and everybody’s college wants to be here. So, that makes it a lot more fun that everybody can watch.”

Mick Cronin’s cheesesteak tour

UCLA head coach Mick Cronin is spending the weekend on a cheesesteak tour of Philadelphia, and he’s taking recommendations.

Cronin said Thursday that he started at Dalessandro’s, the Roxborough spot that earned recognition from Michelin earlier this year, after former Daily News sportswriter Dana O’Neil suggested it, and “it was excellent.” Next up is Joe’s Steaks in Fishtown, on recommendation of former Philly Daily News columnist Dick Jerardi.

“When in Philly, if you don’t eat cheesesteaks, you shouldn’t show up,” Cronin joked. “It’s almost like it would be un-American.”

Ex-Sixer Johnny Dawkins back in Philly to coach in the NCAA Tournament

As soon as Central Florida’s name came up on Selection Sunday, Johnny Dawkins knew he was in for a special moment.

The former 76ers guard has been back to Philadelphia plenty of times over the years, especially when the Knights were in the American Conference and played Temple regularly. But this time, he gets to be in town to coach in the NCAA Tournament.

“I’ve loved it here,” he said on the eve of No. 10 seed UCF’s matchup with No. 7 UCLA on Friday (7:25 p.m., TBS). “No better fans in, I think, all of the country. It’s an amazing sports place.”

Phil Martelli hugs his son after VCU upsets UNC in NCAA Tournament

Even after a blowout loss, Penn’s Fran McCaffery has already won

It was early January when Brad Underwood knew his friend was in a good place. His Illini basketball team was visiting the Palestra for a neutral site game against Penn State when Fran McCaffery stopped by to chat.

The two coaches had spent the previous eight years helping one another navigate and endure the pressures of a rapidly evolving Big 10. Leading a major college basketball program was rapidly evolving into a careful-what-you-wish-for kind of thing. They were men from an era when coaches built legacies via relationships and culture, an era when there was something meaningful in the association between the name on the front of the jersey and the university standing behind it.

The previous spring, when Iowa fired McCaffery, the winningest coach in school history, it was another sign of the times. Except, here McCaffery was now, looking like a man who’d rediscovered something.

Full schedule of Philly NCAA Tournament games

For the first time since 2022, the NCAA men’s basketball tournament has to go through Philly.

Well, at least part of it.

The recently renamed Xfinity Mobile Arena, home of the 76ers and Flyers, will host six tournament games this year – four first-round games Friday and two second-round matchups Sunday.

High Point’s bracket-busting upset starts run of 4 wins by double-digit seeds

Well, the dream was fun while it lasted — all two-ish hours of it.

The bid for a perfect NCAA Tournament bracket disappeared for more than 25 million people by mid-afternoon on Thursday, fueled by 12th-seeded High Point’s first-round stunner over fifth-seeded Wisconsin.

That was just the start. By the end of the first day of March Madness, fewer than one of every 2,400 entries in the ESPN bracket challenge were blemish-free.

Villanova vs. Utah State: Here’s what to know

Villanova vs. Utah State in a college basketball arena on the sunny campus of San Diego State University is about as random as it gets, even by NCAA Tournament standards.

The Wildcats and Aggies meet Friday at Viejas Arena (4:10 p.m., TNT), and the winner likely has a Sunday date with top-seeded Arizona, which is 32-2 entering the tournament and has Final Four and championship talent.

But while the lone matchup between the two schools was in 1960 — a 73-72 Utah State victory in an NIT quarterfinal — there are some familiar threads at play Friday.

‘Next year, boys!’: Penn eliminated from NCAA Tournament by Illinois

David Mirkovic had 29 points and 17 rebounds, and No. 3 seed Illinois dominated No. 14 seed Penn 105-70 on Thursday night in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Keaton Wagler added 18 points, seven assists, and seven rebounds for the Fighting Illini (25-8), who moved on to face No. 11 VCU in the second round on Saturday.

Kylan Boswell had 13 points, while Ben Humrichous and Tomislav Ivisic each chipped in with 12 as Illinois shot 50% from the field and made 15 three-pointers while outrebounding the much smaller Quakers 48-25.

Villanova’s women’s team knew where to turn after a tough start to the season

At the beginning of this season, Villanova did not look poised to make the NCAA Tournament.

The Wildcats suffered disappointing losses to Fairfield and Princeton in November, and opened the 2025-26 women’s basketball season with a 2-2 record. Just four games into the season, the team already felt the urge to regroup.

When envisioning how they wanted the rest of the season to go, the Wildcats turned to two players for advice: senior forward Annie Welde and senior guard Maggie Grant. While Welde and Grant get limited playing time in games, their experience — four years in the Villanova program — has been valuable.
