The NCAA Tournament will return to Dickies Arena next season — and this time it’s the men.
First- and second-round games in the men’s NCAA Tournament will be held in Fort Worth on March 18 and 20 next year.
Dickies Arena just finished hosting the Fort Worth regional of the women’s NCAA Tournament. Top seeds UConn and Texas advanced to this week’s Final Four in Phoenix.
The men’s tournament already came to Dickies in 2022, highlighted by No. 8 seed North Carolina upsetting defending national champion and No. 1 seed Baylor 93-86 in overtime in the second round.
