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

Mandatory Credit: Brian Fluharty-Imagn Images On May 11, Carlos Correa underwent what he thought was season-ending surgery on his left ankle. On Saturday, he began working out on the field again, well ahead of the original six- to eight-month recovery timeline. That has the Astros’ third baseman optimistic his season isn’t over after all. “We’ll see,” Correa said. “I wouldn’t be doing all this work if I didn’t think there was a chance.” Correa has progressed to doing all baseball activities except hitting, and he said he could be cleared to do that, too, following a Tuesday doctor’s appointment. “As soon as I got hurt, I got on this protocol,” he told reporters. “I started looking for all the information I could and how to speed up the process and the things I needed to eat and how I needed to sleep, the type of treatment we needed. We’ve been doing a great job with that. We’re in a good spot.” Correa is not even halfway through his projected recovery timeline. Should he rejoin the Astros’ lineup for the stretch run, his bat and glove would be a big boost for a 57-55 Houston club that led the American League West standings by 1 1/2 games over the Rangers entering Sunday’s game. While it’s unclear how he would slot in on defense, Correa’s bat would certainly be welcome among the top-heavy lineup. The three-time All-Star slashed .279/.369/.418 with three homers and 16 RBIs in 32 games this season prior to the injury, which occurred while Correa took pregame swings in the batting cage on May 5. The 31-year-old is a career .275 hitter with 203 homers and 740 RBIs across 12 MLB seasons, including two stints (2015-21; 2025-present) with the Astros. “I’m in a really good spot. A really good spot,” he said. “I don’t feel (the injury). Been progressing to running and sprinting, and it feels great.” –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Astros #Carlos #Correa #ankle #surgery #ruling #returnMay 1, 2026; Boston, Massachusetts, USA; Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (1) reacts after hitting a solo home run against the Boston Red Sox during the third inning at Fenway Park.

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS – JULY 30: Chloe Bibby #55 of the Chicago Sky shoots the ball against the Connecticut Sun at Wintrust Arena on July 30, 2026 in Chicago, Illinois.

The Minnesota Lynx have signed forward Chloe Bibby to a standard contract, the team announced Saturday. Bibby, who was previously on a developmental contract with the Chicago Sky, averaged 5.5 points and 1.5 assists in 4 games this season.

Bibby bounced around the league last season, lacing up for 5 games with the Golden State Valkyries and 9 games with the Indiana Fever. The Sky could have matched the Lynx’s offer for a standard contract, but ultimately chose not to, as it would have required trading or cutting another player on the roster.

What Chloe Bibby brings to the Minnesota Lynx

Bibby, who is 28 years old, has, to date, spent most of her career overseas after a collegiate career at Mississippi State (2017-2020) and Maryland (2020-2022). And while she’s unlikely to carve out a rotational role this season, Bibby is a smart pick-up by the Lynx.

She’s shown an ability to shoot well from the outside — she’s shooting 38.9% from three so far in her WNBA career — and put together a solid, 8-point, 2-assist game on Thursday against the Connecticut Sun in one of her biggest opportunities of the season. On July 15th, she tallied a career-high 14 points alongside 4 assists in a win over the Seattle Storm.

Bibby won Polish league MVP in 2024, after averaging 20.9 points and 5.9 rebounds, and won the Spanish league MVP in 2025.

Minnesota has won 9 straight games and sits atop league standings with a 24-6 record. For the most part, they’ve been led by Rookie of the Year frontrunner Olivia Miles, as well as strong play from a supporting cast that includes All-Stars Courtney Williams, Natasha Howard, and Kayla McBride.

Now, they’ve further bolstered their roster with one of the best available players out there.
