Texas A&M excels in the NCAA Tournament, while Xavier faces a coaching change after a tough loss to Illinois.

Texas A&M showcased their dominance in the 2025 NCAA Men`s Basketball Tournament, maintaining a strong lead throughout their match. In stark contrast, Norfolk State and Alabama State, both 16-seeds, faced significant defeats. Norfolk State lost to Florida by 26 points, marking a disappointing return to the tournament. Alabama State, despite being a 32.5-point underdog, managed to keep their game against Auburn competitive for a significant portion.

Xavier Musketeers experienced a tough loss to Illinois, which was further complicated by the departure of their coach Sean Miller to Texas shortly after the game. Meanwhile, UCLA Bruins struggled against Tennessee, unable to recover from a significant run by the Vols. The New Mexico Lobos started strong but ultimately fell to Michigan State due to foul trouble. Robert Morris Colonials came close to pulling off a major upset against Alabama but ultimately fell short. The Vanderbilt Commodores suffered a heartbreaking loss to Saint Mary`s after leading by double digits in the second half.

In the NIT, the quarterfinals are heating up, with Chattanooga defeating Bradley and Oklahoma State set to face North Texas. The semifinals and championship will be hosted at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, featuring top seeds like SMU, Dayton, San Francisco, and UC Irvine.
