NCAA tournament conference breakdown: SEC and Big Ten thrive, while ACC struggles

Sports news

The second round of the 2026 men’s NCAA tournament will be heavily populated by the SEC, Big Ten and Big 12 after all three conferences posted strong first rounds.

The three leagues will combine to send 21 teams to the second round with the SEC leading the charge with eight out of 10 teams moving forward.

Overall, eight leagues are sending multiple teams to the second round of NCAA tournament.

The SEC produced a monster first round in 2026. Only Georgia and Missouri lost across the league’s 10 bids.

Eight SEC teams moving on matches last season’s total — with four fewer bids. It also maintains an incredibly high floor for the conference only two seasons removed from a 3-5 first round.

South Region top seed Florida and No. 4 seed Arkansas — facing Cinderella High Point — are both heavy favorites in the second round. Alabama, Vanderbilt and Tennessee are all close favorites to reach the Sweet 16.

Kentucky battles No. 2 seed Iowa State after surviving Santa Clara. Texas A&M and First Four-advancing Texas are intriguing double-digit seeds playing No. 2 seed Houston and No. 3 seed Gonzaga.

2026: 10 bids, 9-2 record

2025: 14 bids, 23-13 record

2024: eight bids, 9-8 record

No. 1 Florida beat No. 16 Prairie View A&M 114-55

No. 4 Alabama beat No. 13 Hofstra 90-70

No. 4 Arkansas beat No. 13 Hawai’i 97-78

No. 5 Vanderbilt beat No. 12 McNeese 78-68

No. 6 Tennessee beat No. 11 Miami (Ohio) 78-56

No. 7 Kentucky beat No. 10 Santa Clara 89-84 in overtime

No. 8 Georgia lost to No. 9 Saint Louis 102-77

No. 10 Missouri lost to No. 7 Miami 80-66

No. 10 Texas A&M beat No. 7 Saint Mary’s 63-50

No. 11 Texas beat No. 11 N.C. State 68-66 in the First Four

No. 11 Texas beat No. 6 BYU 79-71

The first round saw another strong showing from the Big Ten with a 7-2 start. An upset to No. 5 seed Wisconsin and Ohio State losing in the 8-9 matchup to TCU were the only losses during an otherwise solid showing.

Top Big Ten teams dominated. All five top-four seeds won by at least 20-plus points. In the second round, the Big Ten is the stronger seed in all four matchups on Saturday while No. 2 seed Purdue is a favorite on Sunday. UCLA and Iowa are dangerous underdogs with plenty of talent to reach the second weekend.

2026: nine bids, 7-2 record

2025: eight bids, 13-8 record

2024: six bids, 10-6 record

No. 1 Michigan beat No. 16 Howard 101-80

No. 2 Purdue beat No. 15 Queens 104-71

No. 3 Illinois beat No. 14 Penn 105-70

No. 3 Michigan State beat No. 14 North Dakota State 92-67

No. 4 Nebraska beat No. 13 Troy 76-47

No. 5 Wisconsin lost to No. 12 High Point 83-82

No. 7 UCLA beat No. 10 UCF 75-71

No. 8 Ohio State lost to No. 9 TCU 66-64

No. 9 Iowa beat No. 8 Clemson 67-61

After a first round full of tests and losses, the ACC can’t feel good entering the Round of 32. Duke trailed by double digits by halftime before winning a close game over a 16 seed. Virginia was tested by 14-seed Wright State. Louisville survived 11-seed South Florida. Miami did win an impressive (road) game against No. 10 seed Missouri in Saint Louis.

But North Carolina, Clemson, N.C. State and SMU are all gone.

Top seed Duke is the ACC’s only favorite in the second round. The Blue Devils are double-digit favorites over TCU. Outside of Duke, No. 6 seed Tennessee is favored over Virginia and No. 3 seed Michigan State has the edge over Louisville.

2026: eight bids, 4-4 record

2025: four bids, 5-4 record

2024: five bids, 12-5 record

No. 1 Duke beat No. 16 Siena 71-65

No. 3 Virginia beat No. 14 Wright State 82-73

No. 6 Louisville beat No. 11 South Florida 83-79

No. 6 North Carolina lost to No. 11 VCU 82-78 in OT

No. 7 Miami (FL) beat No. 10 Missouri 80-66

No. 8 Clemson lost to No. 9 Iowa 67-61

No. 11 N.C. State lost to No. 11 Texas 68-66 in First Four

No. 11 SMU lost to No. 11 Miami (Ohio) 89-79 in First Four

The top five teams moved on in the Big 12 while No. 6 seed BYU and UCF were eliminated.

Double-digit wins mostly defined the first round for the Big 12’s elite group. Some second-round wars test the conference ahead.

Arizona and Houston are double-digit favorites against Utah State and Texas A&M, respectively. Iowa State could have its hands full against Kentucky if Joshua Jefferson is out. The All-Big 12 selection exited the Cyclones’ first-round win with an ankle injury.

Meanwhile, Kansas faces Big East champion St. John’s while Texas Tech plays No. 4 seed Alabama. TCU also gets a crack at top seed Duke in the East Region after its first-round win over Ohio State.

2026: eight bids, 6-2 record

2025: seven bids, 14-7 record

2024: eight bids, 7-8 record

No. 1 Arizona beat No. 16 LIU 92-58

No. 2 Houston beat No. 15 Idaho 78-47

No. 2 Iowa State beat No. 15 Tennessee State 108-74

No. 4 Kansas beat No. 13 California Baptist 68-60

No. 5 Texas Tech beat No. 12 Akron 91-71

No. 6 BYU lost to No. 11 Texas 79-71

No. 9 TCU beat No. 8 Ohio State 66-64

No. 10 UCF lost to No. 7 UCLA 75-71

Moving two teams to the Round of 32, the Big East sent UConn and St. John’s forward. Villanova dropped its matchup to Utah State as the better seed in the 8-9 matchup to finish its first season under head coach Kevin Willard.

Both in the East Region, UConn faces UCLA in the next round and the Red Storm matchup with No. 4 seed Kansas. If both teams can advance to the Sweet 16 it will meet the conference’s NCAA win total from last season

2026: three bids, 2-1 record

2025: five bids, 4-5 record

2024: three bids, 10-2 record

No. 2 UConn beat No. 15 Furman 82-71

No. 5 St. John’s beat No. 12 Northern Iowa 79-53

No. 8 Villanova lost to No. 9 Utah State 86-76

The WCC made progress this year with its first three-bid season since 2022 and only the fourth three-bid season in league history (2022, 2012, 2008). Unfortunately the league needs Gonzaga to advance to consider this a successful postseason.

Advancing past Kennesaw State, the Zags play No. 11 seed Texas — hoping to advance to the Sweet 16 after exiting in the second round last season. As for the others, Saint Mary’s had a disappointing showing against Texas A&M and Santa Clara lost in an overtime heartbreaker to Kentucky.

2026: three bids, 1-2 record

2025: two bids, 2-2 record

2024: two bids, 4-2 record

No. 3 Gonzaga beat No. 14 Kennesaw State 73-64

No. 7 Saint Mary’s lost to No. 10 Texas A&M 63-50

No. 10 Santa Clara lost to No. 7 Kentucky 89-84 in overtime

For the second time in three years, the Atlantic 10 finishes the first round with a 2-0 record. Dayton and Duquesne both advanced to the Round of 32 in 2024 before being eliminated during the next round. The goal for 2026 for the A10 is at least one team to make the second weekend.

Saint Louis obliterated Georgia and VCU rallied from double digits in the second half to outlast North Carolina in overtime. Perhaps most impressively, both won as worse seeds.

The Billikens get top seed Michigan next round while the Rams battle No. 3 seed Illinois in the second round.

2026: two bids, 2-0 record

2025: one bid, 0-1 record

2024: two bids, 2-2 record

No. 9 Saint Louis beat No. 8 Georgia 102-77

No. 11 VCU beat No. 6 North Carolina 82-78 in overtime

The MAC finished the 2026 NCAA tournament with a 1-2 record. Miami (Ohio) completed a memorable season with a convincing First Four victory over SMU before falling to Tennessee in the Round of 64. Conference tournament champion Akron also fell to Texas Tech.

This was the MAC’s first multi-bid season since 1999 and only the sixth multi-bid campaign since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985. An unbeaten regular season from the RedHawks, coupled with three straight NCAA tournament trips from the Zips, gives the MAC positive momentum for the mid-major league going forward.

2026: two bids, 1-2 record

2025: one bid, 0-1 record

2024: one bid, 0-1 record

No. 11 Miami (Ohio) beat No. 11 SMU 89-79 in First Four

No. 11 Miami (Ohio) lost to No. 6 Tennessee 78-56

No. 12 Akron lost to No. 5 Texas Tech 91-71

Deadspin | Larry Fitzgerald thanks all of Arizona: ‘You gave me a home’ Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinee Larry Fitzgerald and his son Devin Fitzgerald unveil his bust during the Class of 2026 enshrinement ceremony at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio, on Aug. 8, 2026. One day after being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, longtime Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald paid for a full-page ad in the Arizona Republic to thank everyone who made a Minnesota native feel welcome in the state he calls home. After being selected by the Cardinals with the third overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft, Fitzgerald spent all 17 years of his NFL career in Arizona. He caught 1,432 passes for 17,492 yards and 121 touchdowns while earning 11 trips to the Pro Bowl. Fitzgerald ranks second to Jerry Rice on the NFL’s all-time lists for receptions and receiving yards. He stands sixth in touchdown catches, trailing Rice, Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Chris Carter and Marvin Harrison. Here’s the message Fitzgerald penned for his Arizona Republic ad: People have asked me countless times what it felt like to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The truth is, it was one of the greatest honors of my life. But this really isn’t a Hall of Fame story. It’s a thank-you letter. I arrived in Arizona as a 20-year-old kid who didn’t know a single person. I had no idea this desert would become the place that would shape me into the man I am today. The day I landed was the same day the nation learned Pat Tillman had lost his life. Pat is one of America’s great heroes. I stepped off the plane into a state where its people were carrying real grief, and something inside me grew quiet. I started paying attention. You learn quickly what loyalty looks like when it isn’t just a word. For the next 17 seasons, I quietly measured myself against the standard Pat Tillman set. I’m still not sure I ever lived up to it. Somewhere along the way, Arizona stopped being the place where I lived and became the place I was from. It happened through a thousand ordinary moments until one day, I realized this was simply home. Not because I was a Hall of Famer. Not because I was a wide receiver. Just because the people of this state allowed me to be Larry. You don’t fall in love with a place because of its stadiums. You fall in love on quiet mornings hiking Camelback Mountain. On crisp fall afternoons walking a golf course. During summers in Flagstaff and standing among the red rocks of Sedona that remind you just how small you are in the best possible way. When I stopped playing football, I walked away quietly. I’m known for my Irish goodbyes. Arizona even gave me that. Yet you kept showing up for me anyway, especially through the work of my foundation. Your support was never conditional. You never asked me to be anything other than myself, and somehow that was always enough. Arizona gave a kid from Minneapolis something he didn’t even know he was searching for. Belonging. And that sense of belonging changed me. After a while, you weren’t cheering for a wide receiver anymore, you were cheering for one of your own. So this isn’t really a story about 17 years in a Cardinals uniform or a bronze bust in Canton. It’s the story of a young man who was welcomed by a state that owed him nothing and gave him everything. Thank you, Arizona. Thank you for letting a kid from somewhere else become one of your own. Thank you for embracing not just the player, but the man. You gave me far more than a career. You gave me friendships that will last a lifetime. You gave me purpose beyond football. You gave me a place where my children will always know they belong. Most of all, you gave me a home.

When I arrived to cover the Minnesota Vikings for the St. Paul Pioneer Press in 2000, it was clear I was dealing with a star-studded roster.

The team boasted future Pro Football Hall of Famers; wide receivers Cris Carter and Randy Moss and defensive tackle John Randle. Plus, there were a ton of other stars including quarterback Daunte Culpepper, center Matt Birk and running back Robert Smith. The Vikings were loaded with star power.

The talent around the team wasn’t relegated simply to the roster, however.

That summer I first laid my eyes on a 16-year-old high school junior named Larry Fitzgerald Jr. The son of a local media member and close friend of Vikings’ head coach Dennis Green, Little Fitzy was a ball boy during training camp and on game days. It turns out, Larry Fitzgerald Jr. is very likely the most famous former NFL ball boy in history.

On reporting date, fellow reporter Kevin Seifert pointed out Fitzgerald to me and said “that’s a bad man.” Seifert didn’t say that about any of the actual Vikings that day.

Fitzgerald was already known as the best Minnesota high school prospect in years and he was considered one of the best high school players in the country. Seifert told me the buzz was that the kid was, no doubt, headed to the NFL in a half decade or so. Seifert was on the money. I’m not sure the Hall of Fame was mentioned or not.

But this weekend of course, that’s exactly where Little Fitzy is headed. He will be enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, on Saturday as a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

Fitzgerald will be remembered as one of the best and most productive wide receivers in league history after an incredible 17-season career with the Arizona Cardinals.

I have a ton of memories of being around Fitzgerald, but there’s one that stands out among them all.

One day after training camp, a nameless Vikings’ wide receiver camp body was getting extra work on a JUGS machine, catching balls. He was being tutored by Fitzgerald, who was showing this player how to properly approach the incoming ball. This was a child instructing a grown man an NFL team deemed good enough to attend training camp.

Larry Fitzgerald Jr. was special even back then.

In addition to his incredible natural football ability, Larry Fitzgerald Jr. stood out for his politeness and good nature. You could tell he was a good kid from the first time you met him.

There was no I’m-going-to-be-a-star attitude. He was genuine and he worked his tail off with the rest of the ball boys. There was no entitlement. It was as if he was using his time around an NFL camp as an internship for his future. He passed with flying colors.

I’ve always cherished following his career from his days at Pittsburgh in college to his days of dominating the NFL and I’ve enjoyed running into him over the years now and again.

Enjoy Canton, Little Fitzy, you’ve earned it.
