**Naija's March Madness Upsets: Cinderella Teams to Watch in 2026** March Madness is just around the corner, and Nigerian sports fans are eager to see which teams will make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament. One coach who's no stranger to the Big Dance is John Calipari, who's set to lead Arkansas to its second March Madness appearance in two years. With a team filled with young talent, the Razorbacks are looking like a dark horse in the 2026 NCAA Tournament bracket. Calipari, a legend in the college basketball world, has led four schools to the NCAA Tournament, but his only national championship came in 2006 with the University of Memphis. Can he finally lead the Razorbacks to a Final Four appearance and a deep run in March Madness 2026? To find out, we need to look at the Cinderella teams that could pull off an upset.
