In addition to an on-demand set, released when the tournament began, a total of 10 Bowman U Now cards have been released to commemorate the first two rounds of the tournaments. Perhaps the biggest release came in the form of a Cooper Flagg/Tyrese Proctor card that will include dual auto cards numbered to 5 and 1. The duo has excelled so far, with Proctor leading the Blue Devils with 22 PPG, and Flagg providing elite play on both ends of the floor.

Notre Dame point guard Hannah Hidalgo earned a milestone card from Bowman U Now, after a great start to the tournament sent her career totals over 1,500 points and 300 assists, the second player in the last 25 years to pull off the feat in their sophomore year.
Of course, Bowman U Now also wants to capture moments, and Maryland freshman Derik Queen may just have had the biggest one of the entire first weekend. The potential 2025 NBA Draft lottery pick hit a game-winning buzzer-beater against Colorado State to put his team in the Sweet Sixteen.
