Men’s March Madness live tracker: Updates from Friday’s first round


The first day of the 2026 NCAA men’s basketball tournament set a high bar.

The 11-seeded VCU Rams and 12-seeded High Point Panthers delivered the first upsets of March Madness. AJ Dybantsa scored the most points (35) by a freshman in an NCAA tournament debut in BYU’s loss to Texas. And more points rained in with Michigan, Illinois and Saint Louis each eclipsing the 100-point mark Thursday.

The action doesn’t slow down Friday with games underway and more still to tip (all times Eastern):

  • (16) Prairie View A&M vs. (1) Florida: 9:25 p.m.
