Iowa State entered its matchup with Cincinnati at 4-5 overall, needing wins for bowl eligibility, and faced the challenge of slowing a Bearcats rushing attack averaging 229.1 yards per game. A men’s basketball preview favored Providence to cover as a 9.5-point favorite against Colorado. NC State opened scoring against Troy with a Darius Adams three-pointer after an early defensive stop, while coverage also featured UConn-Ohio State highlights and a Xavier-Mississippi State preview. Early 2026-27 March Madness odds listed Florida and Duke among the leading contenders, alongside defending champion Michigan, which was seeking a repeat. The tournament was set to expand from 68 to 76 teams the following year, adding an opening round and more at-large bids.
