Men’s & Women’s NCAA Final Four is This Weekend in San Antonio and Tampa
The road to the Final Four has come to an end, and all four No. 1 seeds in this year’s NCAA tournament have made it to San Antonio. With powerhouse programs securing their spots, the Alamodome is set to host a thrilling showdown as the nation’s best battle for a place in the championship game.
All No. 1 Seeds Head to San Antonio
The men’s NCAA Tournament has lived up to expectations, with all four No. 1 seeds advancing through the regional rounds to punch their tickets to the Final Four. Florida and Duke were the first to secure their spots on Saturday, emerging from the West and East Regions. The final two slots were claimed on Sunday as Auburn outlasted Michigan State in a hard-fought battle, and Houston proved too strong for Tennessee in the Midwest Region final.
Auburn, the tournament’s top overall seed, survived a late push from Michigan State, despite a scare when star Johni Broome briefly left the game with an apparent arm injury. Florida, meanwhile, mounted an impressive comeback against Texas Tech to keep their title hopes alive.
On the other side of the bracket, Cooper Flagg and Duke cruised past Alabama in dominant fashion. Houston, anchored by a stifling defense, fended off Tennessee to clinch the final spot. With these elite programs set to clash in Texas, the stage is set for an unforgettable Final Four.
