NCAA Tournament Open Thread

Jamie Rhodes-USA TODAY Sports

The Cincinnati Bearcats were knocked out of the NCAA tournament last weekend, but the show goes on, and it starts tonight.

There is no shortage of action tonight with local implications. In Cleveland at Quickens Loans Arena Kentucky will try to move to 37-0, and they would be the first school in history ever to achieve that record. To get there they will have to get past Bob Huggins and his West Virginia Mountaineers.

Later tonight it will be Xavier taking on Arizona in Los Angeles at the Staples Center. It is a master and protegee match up with Sean Miller coaching Arizona and Chris Mack at the helm for Xavier. You could argue that neither would have their current job without the other.

The under cards aren't too shabby either with Witchita State taking on Notre Dame, and North Carolina dancing with Wisconsin. Lots of action on tap tonight. Here is the complete schedule. If you are unable to get near a TV you can stream the games here.

Thursday, March 26, 2026 Time (ET) TV
(7) Wichita St vs (3) Notre Dame 7:15 PM CBS
(4) North Carolina vs (1) Wisconsin 7:47 PM TBS
(5) West Virginia vs (1) Kentucky 9:45 PM CBS
(6) Xavier vs (2) Arizona 10:17 PM TBS
