The 2026 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament reached the Sweet 16 stage on March 28 amid early drama, with two confirmed game-winning buzzer beaters: Dylan Darling's layup at the buzzer for St. John's over Kansas in the Round of 32 on March 22, and Trey Kaufman-Renn's tip-in with 0.7 seconds left for Purdue against Texas in Sweet 16 action on March 26. First-round close calls, like Otega Oweh's half-court heave forcing OT to keep Kentucky alive versus Santa Clara, fueled bracket chaos without extra strict counts. Remaining Sweet 16 games, Elite Eight rivalries, Final Four pressure, and championship intensity—totaling 15 games left—heighten upset potential and last-second shot opportunities, as March Madness history shows buzzer beaters thriving in high-stakes elimination rounds.

First-half buzzer beaters will not count. Shots by a team that is already ahead or behind and that do not result in a tie or lead change will not count. Shots made at the end of the shot clock are not considered buzzer beaters.
If the tournament concludes early, is shortened, or is truncated for any reason, the outcome shall be determined using available NCAA statistics for completed games.
If the NCAA Tournament is cancelled, postponed after April 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or if the exact number of “buzzer beaters” cannot be determined within that timeframe, this market will resolve to "No".
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the NCAA and its official broadcast partners; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.The 2026 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament reached the Sweet 16 stage on March 28 amid early drama, with two confirmed game-winning buzzer beaters: Dylan Darling's layup at the buzzer for St. John's over Kansas in the Round of 32 on March 22, and Trey Kaufman-Renn's tip-in with 0.7 seconds left for Purdue against Texas in Sweet 16 action on March 26.
