Fans will be treated to a heavyweight Final Four matchup on Saturday night when East region champs Duke take on Midwest region winners Houston for a spot in the national championship game.
Duke has been the consensus top performing team in March thus far, most recently steamrolling No. 2 Alabama 85-65 in the Elite 8. Led by freshmen Cooper Flagg and Kon Knueppel, the Blue Devils look an unstoppable force, and are the rightful favorites to cut down the nets on Monday night.
But first they must get past Houston, who should pose Duke with a challenge they have yet to see this tournament. If any team in the nation can match the Blue Devils’ size, physicality and depth, it is the Cougars.
Houston bullied No. 2 Tennessee 69-50 in the Elite 8 and will now play in its second Final Four in five seasons.
Can Jon Scheyer’s fantastic freshman get one step closer to their ultimate goal, or will Kelvin Sampson reach his first national title game as a head coach?
Duke vs. Houston will be broadcast on CBS.
Streaming will be available on Paramount+ and the March Madness Live app.
Duke vs. Houston in the men's Final Four will tip off at 8:49 PM ET / 7:49 PM CT / 5:49 PM PT on Saturday, April 5 from the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.
