Northern Iowa Panthers (No. 12 seed, 23‑12, Missouri Valley Conference) punched their 2026 NCAA Tournament ticket by winning the Missouri Valley Conference tournament, finishing the season 23‑12 overall and 15‑9 in MVC play to earn the league’s automatic bid. As a 12‑seed in the East Region, the Panthers return to the Big Dance for the first time since 2016 and bring a balanced résumé built on strong defense and late‑season momentum into this matchup.
St. John’s Red Storm (No. 5 seed, 28‑6, Big East Conference) comes in as both the Big East regular‑season and tournament champions, posting a 28‑6 record with a 21‑2 mark in Big East play to secure the automatic bid and a top‑half seed in the East bracket.
