The Sweet 16 is set for the 2026 men’s NCAA tournament after an intense opening weekend of action. Favorites largely ruled the day in the opening two rounds, but there were some pretty significant upsets.
In the West region, No. 11 Texas sent No. 3 Gonzaga packing after downing No. 6 BYU in the opening round. Sean Miller’s squad will have a chance at another upset in the Sweet 16 against the No. 2 seed, Purdue.
