The first team from the original 68-team 2026 Men’s NCAA Tournament bracket to secure its ticket to the Final Four came from the South Region, where No. 3 seed Illinois defeated Big Ten foe No. 9 seed Iowa for the program’s first trip to the Final Four since 2005.

No. 1 Arizona then won the West over Purdue 79-64 to advance to its first Final Four in 25 years.

Next up, No. 1 seed Michigan throttled Rick Barnes and No. 6 seed Tennessee 95-62 to become the third Final Four team to secure a berth to Indianapolis.
