NIT 2026: Scores, schedule, bracket, and results

Sports news

The NIT is underway with the opening rounds hosted at campus sites across the United States, bringing the intimate feeling of college basketball into the postseason in a way rarely seen in the men’s NCAA tournament.

This leads to the No. 1 seed having an even larger advantage than simply getting the lower seeds in the tournament, with both the home crowd tilt and financial boon from hosting NIT games having an impact on the school, which is critical for mid-major programs. Here is the full schedule for the NIT tournament, the bracket, as well as the results of games completed so far.

Round 1: Wednesday, March 18

Round 2: Saturday, March 21

Round 2: Sunday, March 22

Quarterfinals: March 24 and 25

Semifinals: Thursday, April 2

Championship: Sunday, April 5

Deadspin | LAFC brings record clean-sheet start into game vs. skidding Portland Apr 7, 2026; Los Angeles, CA, USA; LAFC goalkeeper Hugo Lloris (1) defends the goal against Cruz Azul in the first half of a Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinal at BMO Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images The Portland Timbers will try to snap a five-match winless streak when they host Western Conference-leading Los Angeles FC on Saturday afternoon. The question heading into the match is not whether the Timbers (1-4-1, 4 points) can win the game, but rather can they at least score a goal? LAFC (5-0-1, 16 points), led by former French national team and Tottenham Hotspur star Hugo Lloris in goal, have set an MLS record with six straight clean sheets to start a season. Lloris, who helped lead France to the 2018 World Cup, has made 22 saves in the six contests, including six in last week’s 6-0 victory over Orlando City. “We don’t go into games thinking about, ‘Oh, we have to keep a clean sheet,'” Los Angeles coach Marc Dos Santos said. “We go into games thinking about what we have to do as a group, collectively.” To that end, LAFC is tied for second in goals scored in MLS with 14. Forward Denis Bouanga leads the team with four goals, including a hat trick that took just 28 minutes to complete against Orlando, while Son Heung-Min leads the league with seven assists. The only blip on LAFC’s record so far this season is a 0-0 draw at Austin FC on March 21. Portland, which is 0-4-1 in its last five matches since a season-opening 3-2 home victory over the Columbus Crew on Feb. 21, has allowed a Western Conference-worst 15 goals while scoring nine times. The Timbers come in off a 3-2 loss at MLS Cup runner-up Vancouver last Saturday in which they allowed two goals in second-half stoppage time to take a shocking defeat. Portland coach Phil Neville knows his squad faces a big challenge on Saturday. “They’re a team that has not conceded any goals this season and they don’t give away many chances,” Neville said. “In terms of attacking play, I think we’re going to have to be really, really, really good in our attacking play, our attacking movements and our attacking control.” –Field Level Media #Deadspin #LAFC #brings #record #cleansheet #start #game #skidding #PortlandApr 7, 2026; Los Angeles, CA, USA; LAFC goalkeeper Hugo Lloris (1) defends the goal against Cruz Azul in the first half of a Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinal at BMO Stadium.

“Our bowling unit wants to dominate not only tomorrow’s [Saturday] match but also all the upcoming matches.”

This one line from Punjab Kings batter Shashank Singh easily conveys the confidence the team has in its bowling line-up, which next faces the batting might of Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

“We are backing our strength. The present situation is that our bowlers are playing very well. Their batting order is very good, but we have a very good attack with the likes of Xavier Bartlett, Arshdeep Singh and Marco Jansen in our ranks. So, we will prefer to think about our strengths and not theirs,” Shashank said during the pre-match press conference here on Friday.

PBKS used up 19.1 overs and seven wickets while chasing down 163 against Gujarat Titans the last time it played at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium. The hosts come into this contest without a great record, both at this ground (4-7) and against their opponent (7-17).

“We don’t think about stats. Right now, we are looking at trying to impress each other in our team.”

“We don’t have the best of records in home conditions over the past couple of years. But again, we could have won the first match convincingly this season. We made some mistakes in the middle overs, which led to that game going down to the wire… as humans, you make errors and learn from them. In a way, it was good that the first match challenged us,” Shashank added.

Deadspin | Bryan Reynolds’ homer the difference in Pirates’ defeat of Cubs Apr 10, 2026; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Carmen Mlodzinski (50) delivers a pitch against the Chicago Cubs during the second inning at Wrigley Field. Mandatory Credit: Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Bryan Reynolds hit a two-run home run, Carmen Mlodzinski threw 5 1/3 scoreless innings and the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Chicago Cubs 2-0 on Friday afternoon. Facing Chicago starter Shota Imanaga, Pittsburgh didn’t tally its first hit until the top of the seventh. Cubs reliever Caleb Thielbar (1-1)’s third pitch was singled to right by Ryan O’Hearn. His next pitch left the yard off the bat of Reynolds to left field, bringing home what became the only runs of the game on his third homer of the season. Mlodzinski allowed six hits, walking three and striking out two for Pittsburgh, which has won seven of its last nine games. Mason Montgomery (1-0) earned the win, striking out two batters in relief of Mlodzinski. The Pirates will search for their first series win over Chicago since Sept. 2024 on Saturday. Imanaga finished with a no-decision despite striking out nine batters and walking just one across six no-hit frames. Ian Happ had two hits and Carson Kelly had a single and three walks for Chicago. The Cubs had six hits and worked seven walks, but were 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position and stranded 11 runners. Chicago threatened in the fourth, as Happ and Seiya Suzuki laced a pair of singles and Kelly’s two-out walk loaded the bases. Mlodzinski escaped the jam, getting Moises Ballesteros to line out to left field. Alex Bregman and Happ each singled to begin the bottom of the sixth, before Mlodzinski struck out Suzuki. Montgomery then replaced Mlodzinski after 81 pitches. Montgomery struck out Pete Crow-Armstrong and walked Kelly to load the bases. The Pittsburgh reliever preserved the scoreless tie with an inning-ending strikeout of pinch hitter Matt Shaw. Dennis Santana earned his first save of the season, striking out Dansby Swanson and Michael Busch as part of a perfect ninth. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Bryan #Reynolds #homer #difference #Pirates #defeat #CubsApr 10, 2026; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Carmen Mlodzinski (50) delivers a pitch against the Chicago Cubs during the second inning at Wrigley Field.
