There isn’t a single simple answer to “who won college basketball last night” because many men’s and women’s games were played across the country, especially with the NCAA tournament underway.

What happened in college basketball “last night”?

  • The 2026 NCAA men’s tournament first round is in progress, with multiple games on March 19 producing several notable winners rather than one single “college basketball winner.”
  • Early in the round, No. 12 High Point upset No. 5 Wisconsin 83–82, marking High Point’s first-ever March Madness victory and one of the headline results of the night.
  • Other tournament games were also on the board, with upsets such as No. 11 VCU over No. 6 North Carolina and No. 11 Texas over No. 6 BYU adding to a chaotic night of results.

How to find your specific game

If you had a particular matchup in mind (for example, your favorite school or a top‑25 team), the best way to get a precise answer is:

  1. Go to a live college basketball scoreboard page (e.g., ESPN or CBS’ men’s college basketball scores).
  1. Filter by date (March 19, 2026) to see all games played “last night.”
  1. Look up your team or the conference to see the exact final score and winner.

Quick context for the date

  • Today is March 20, 2026, so “last night” refers to the games played on March 19, 2026, which is the opening day of the first round of March Madness this year.

If you tell which team or game you meant, a more direct “X beat Y” answer can be given for that specific matchup.
