Zero Philadelphia teams in men's or women's tournaments
For the third straight season, there won't be any Philadelphia men's basketball teams in the NCAA Tournament. The last Big 5 men's team to make the NCAA Tournament was Villanova, which made a Final Four run in 2022 — former head coach Jay Wright's final season.
There won't be any Philadelphia women's teams competing in March Madness either. Drexel University's women's basketball team made the tournament last season.
