After three rounds of action, the time has now officially to decide which college basketball teams will participate in the 2025 men's NCAA Tournament Final Four.
Yes, the Elite Eight is officially set to be played across each of the next two days, starting with the East and West Region finals on Saturday. In all, four total games will be played Saturday and Sunday, which will decide the four teams who will then make their way to San Antonio for the Final Four.
Included in this two-day span are all four No. 1 seeds playing, as well as one of the more intriguing matchups so far this March in Alabama vs. Duke.
Here are picks for every men's Elite Eight game this weekend, starting with the South Region final.
Auburn vs. Michigan State is likely the potential matchup that many had circled in the East Region back on Selection Sunday, pitting the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds against each other. I'll go with Auburn to come away victorious here, but it will certainly be close.
The West Region final will feature top-seeded Florida facing off against No. 3 seeded Texas Tech, a team that came from behind to avoid an upset to Arkansas in the Sweet 16. However, I'll say that Florida cruises by the Red Raiders in a big win, advancing to the Final Four.
Arguably the best matchup in the Elite Eight overall, No. 1 seeded Duke and No. 2 seed Alabama meet to decide the East Region winner in a game that many have had circled since the bracket was revealed back on Selection Sunday. As to who wins, this game could go either way, but I'll go with Alabama to pull off the upset over the Blue Devils in a close game.
Lastly, Houston booked a trip to the Elite Eight on Friday night with a close, 62-60 win over Purdue, while Tennessee defeated Kentucky by a final score of 78-65. Expect a close, low-scoring and defensive battle between these two teams, and for Houston to eventually come out on top.
