With the 2024 NCAA men's tournament now complete after UConn's championship clinch, traders navigated a historic anomaly: zero buzzer beaters across all 67 games, undercutting the typical 1-3 seen in recent March Madness brackets like 2023's trio including Miami's epic over Indiana. Early rounds featured nail-biters—Texas A&M's 1-second 3-forcing OT vs. Nebraska, NC State's overtime grind past Texas Tech—but none hit exactly at :00 for the win. Sentiment leaned low throughout due to chalky outcomes and defensive masterclasses in later rounds, reflecting the wisdom of crowds pricing rarity amid high-stakes matchups with fewer underdogs surviving.

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.
