SAN ANTONIO (AP) —
The NCAA Tournament’s Final Four is set, featuring a quartet of top-seeded teams who navigated a challenging bracket to reach the pinnacle of college basketball.
Following weekend victories, the matchups are solidified. Duke and Florida advanced after Saturday’s Elite Eight games, and on Sunday, Houston and Auburn punched thier tickets to San Antonio.
The Houston Cougars dominated Tennessee, securing a comfortable 69-50 victory. Houston’s stifling defense held the Volunteers to a mere 15 points in the first half, a historic low for the tournament. Coach Kelvin Sampson’s squad is making its second final Four appearance in five seasons,and seventh overall. They will face Duke on Saturday.
Auburn earned its spot in the Final Four with a 64-70 win over Michigan State.Senior John Broome lead the charge with 25 points and 14 rebounds. A brief injury scare for Broome added drama,but Auburn ultimately held off a late Spartans rally.
Despite Michigan State’s efforts, Auburn maintained control for much of the game, showcasing why they are considered one of the nation’s elite teams.
