The 2026 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament "Selection Sunday" is March 15th with the first round tournament games starting on Thursday March 19th. The Panthers are running their annual NCAA March Madness fundraiser with a $20 per entry fee. YES, you may enter as many times as you are willing to pay for!
Straight points for wins as indicated on the CBS website (Round 1 = 1pt; Round 2 = 2 pts; Round 3 (Sweet 16) = 4pts; Round 4 (Elite 8 ) = 8pts; Round 5 (Final Four) = 12pts; Round 6 (Championship Game) = 16pts). Tiebreaker is closest to the total points of the championship game score. If there remains a tie, a coin flip will determine the winner(s).
Payouts will be awarded to the top 2 finishers with a guaranteed minimum $800 prize pool that could increase with additional entries over the minimum (1st wins 75% of prize pool; 2nd wins 25% of prize pool).
You can sign up directly via the link below starting now - just remember to go back in and make your picks after the field is set (any entry, with our without full picks entered will be counted and expected to make payment on the entry). Picks must be entered prior to 12:15pm on Thursday, March 19th (before tip off of the first round games - note, the play-in games are not part of this fundraiser).
The Panther with the most entries signed up wins a swag prize, so please let the player you are supporting know that you entered on his behalf! Thank you in advance for your participation.
