PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania men's basketball team will bring its dancing shoes to Greenville, S.C. The NCAA has announced the field for the 2026 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament and the Quakers were selected as a 14 seed in the South region.
 
Penn will face third-seeded Illinois in the first round on Thursday at 9:25 p.m. The Quakers have played the Fighting Illini once before in March Madness, losing 68-58 in a first-round 4/13 game on March 17, 2000 in Winston-Salem, N.C.

This will mark Penn's 25th appearance in the NCAA Tournament and its first since 2018.
