The Final Four is set, and it's a historic field. For only the second time ever, the season will come down to four No. 1 seeds, after the top-ranked team in each region survived the Elite Eight to meet their sky-high expectations and punch a ticket to San Antonio.
Despite the lack of madness, it's an entirely new group of teams compared to 2024. None of the Final Four teams played on this stage in either of the last two years, so there will be a new national champion after UConn 's back-to-back titles. 📲 Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp Who's heading to the Final Four?

Houston is making its seventh Final Four appearance and second under coach Kelvin Sampson. The Cougars' golden era, at least before Sampson arrived, took place in the early 1980s, when they reached three consecutive Final Fours and played for a national championship twice. The 1983 team, headlined by Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler, was upset by Jim Valvano and NC State in the title game, and Houston would fall again on that stage a year later.
Houston is one of two teams in this year's Final Four without a national championship, joining Auburn.
