NCAA Tournament Shakes Up Brackets

The men's NCAA tournament saw major upsets as Iowa eliminated defending champion Florida following a dramatic finish where Alvaro Folgueiras sank a go-ahead three-pointer with just 4.5 seconds left. St. John's advanced to its first Sweet 16 since 1999 after Dylan Darling hit a game-winning layup as time expired in a 67-65 victory over Kansas. Following the defeat, longtime Kansas coach Bill Self confirmed no decision yet regarding his coaching future, stating any determination will be made privately. Meanwhile, the field for the men's Sweet 16 now features five Big Ten teams, setting up intriguing matchups, while Texas dominated Oregon, with Madison Booker posting a career-high 40 points in a 100-58 rout of the No. 8 seed.

On the women's side, TCU outlasted Washington 62-59 in overtime, sending the Horned Frogs to the Sweet 16 for the second time, propelled by Olivia Miles' 18 points and 10 rebounds. Minnesota also secured a spot in the regional semifinals for the first time in 21 years after Amaya Battle sank a tiebreaking jumper with 0.7 seconds remaining to edge Mississippi 65-63. The tournament also delivered a historic low for Kentucky, whose 82-63 defeat against Iowa State marked their largest tournament loss since 1972 by a margin of 19 points.
