Paige Spiranac is best known for her golf content, but she's paying close attention to the 2026 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.
Unsurprisingly, the first full day of the NCAA Tournament featured a few upsets. For starters, No. 12 High Point defeated No. 5 Wisconsin in an absolute thriller. No. 11 VCU, meanwhile, erased a 19-point deficit to defeat North Carolina. Last but not least, No. 11 Texas picked up where it left off during the First Four and upset No. 6 BYU.
While we're not sure who Spiranac is rooting for this March, she's clearly taken an interest in this tournament.

Spiranac kicked off this Friday by sharing a photo of her holding a basketball along with the caption: "How's your bracket doing?"
Naturally, Spiranac's fans provided an update on their March Madness brackets.
"Not good, thanks for asking," one fan said.
"Nobody took High Point and VCU," a second fan commented.
"You’re looking a lot better than my brackets," a social media user wrote.
"I feel much better about it now," another fan replied. "Thanks Paige."
March Madness is just heating up.
While the opening round of the tournament has been fun to watch, the second round is shaping up to be must-see TV.
On Saturday, No. 6 Louisville and No. 3 Michigan State will square off at 2:45 p.m. ET. We'll also get to see No. 1 Duke back in action against No. 9 TCU.
A pair of No. 11 seeds, Texas and VCU, will also be featured in Saturday's schedule. It wouldn't shock us if they keep on dancing.
