NCAA Tournament Final Four matchup between the Duke Blue Devils and Houston Cougars with predictions, odds, picks, spread, betting lines and more.

Michigan State wants that first half back against Auburn.  It's cruel how the end can sour a brilliant season, and then in the blink of an eye, there's no closure to be found with the portal looming.

The Auburn Tigers and Florida Gators meet in an all-SEC clash to kick off the Final Four on Saturday. Then, the Duke Blue Devils square off with the Houston Cougars in the nightcap in San Antonio. Each battle between No. 1 seeds could produce games that are talked about for decades.

The SEC broke a record with 14 tournament bids. A record four of those teams advanced to the Elite Eight, and now two to the Final Four. However, despite that top-end success, the conference does not boast the best overall NCAA Tournament winning percentage.

No. 1 seed Houston is headed to the Final Four for the second time in the past five seasons after imposing its will on No. 2 seed Tennessee for a 69-50 win in the Elite Eight on Sunday. The Cougars used a masterful defensive effort to build a 22-point first half lead and then held on late for their 17th consecutive victory.

Florida survived third-seed Texas Tech while Duke didn't need any late-game heroics to secure a bid to San Antonio as the second No. 1 seed
