Zero buzzer beaters have occurred through the Sweet 16 in the 2024 men's NCAA Tournament, fueling trader consensus toward low totals like 0-1 on Polymarket, reflecting the rarity of true game-winners at :00 amid 48 games played. Early-round thrillers like Tennessee's close escape versus Saint Peter's and Illinois' buzzer-beater denial against Iowa State built hype but fell short of official counts, defined strictly as shots swishing at expiration to win. With just 10 games left—Elite Eight through championship—fewer matchups and dominant favorites like UConn (unbeaten in tourney) reduce chaos potential, though upsets in high-stakes environments historically deliver 1-2 per full bracket. Momentum favors under amid efficient defenses curbing late drama.

If no buzzer beater is scored during the 2026 NCAA Tournament, the market will resolve to “No”
A ‘buzzer beater’ is a made field goal that is scored at the expiration (leaving zero seconds on game clock) of any second-half or overtime period during the NCAA Tournament and ties the game or gives the shooting team the lead. First-half buzzer beaters will not count. Shots by a team that is already ahead or behind and that do not result in a tie or lead change will not count. Shots made at the end of the shot clock are not considered buzzer beaters.
If the tournament concludes early, is shortened, or is truncated for any reason, the outcome shall be determined using available NCAA statistics for completed games.
If the NCAA Tournament is cancelled, postponed after April 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or if the exact number of “buzzer beaters” cannot be determined within that timeframe, this market will resolve to "No".
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the NCAA and its official broadcast partners; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
