When the NCAA Tournament began, there were 64 teams in the bracket. Now, one is left standing after Michigan took down UConn to win the 2026 national championship.

The SEC led all conferences with 10 teams in the NCAA Tournament this year while Big Ten trailed closely behind with nine teams in and the Big 12 had eight. The Big Ten was well-represented heading into the Elite 8 with four teams left standing. Michigan and Illinois then advanced to the Final Four, and the Wolverines are off to the title game.

Then, UM completed the journey. Dusty May and the Wolverines took down UConn in the title game April 6 to win their first title since 1989. Here are all of the NCAA Tournament matchups and results for 2026.

Midwest (Chicago)

1 Michigan 90, 4 Alabama 77 [Alabama eliminated]
Through the first half, Alabama didn’t make it easy on Michigan in the Sweet Sixteen as the Crimson Tide took a 49-47 lead into the break.
