Two of the Final Four berths in the 2026 NCAA men’s basketball tournament are set after the Elite Eight round started on Saturday. The University of Arizona punched its ticket into the penultimate round of March Madness after defeating Purdue University 79-64, and it will face the winner of the University of Michigan versus the University of Tennessee matchup on Sunday.
The Wildcats have a redshirt freshman named Bryce James, the youngest son of LeBron James. He may not be playing this season, but he will get to experience the excitement and the drama of the Final Four from the best seat in the house.
The elder James expressed his excitement about his youngest son’s team playing for a spot in the national championship game by taking to X (formerly Twitter).
The younger James spent most of his high school career at Sierra Canyon School in the San Fernando Valley. He officially signed with the Wildcats last April, and at 6-foot-5, he is thought to have more of his father’s natural ability than Bronny James, his father’s eldest son.
While he’s eligible to enter this summer’s NBA draft, it is unknown as of now if he will actually do so.
