The road to the Final Four has officially been paved.
This year’s Final Four will be played in San Antonio, Texas, and it starts Saturday, March 31.
No. 11 seed Loyola-Chicago, most notably now known for Sister Jean, won the South Region and will face No. 3 seed Michigan, the winner of the West Region. The Ramblers and Wolverines will play Saturday, March 31 at 6:09 p.m. ET. Loyola-Chicago is no doubt this year’s Cinderella, and the Ramblers are playing lights out right now. They will give the Wolverines all they want Saturday night.
No. 1 seed Villanova won the East Region and will play No. 1 seed Kansas, the winner of the Midwest Region. The Wildcats and Jayhawks will play Saturday, March 31 at 8:49 p.m. ET. Kansas beat Duke in OT 85-81 Sunday evening in arguably the game of the year so far.
Although eight SEC teams made the NCAA Tournament, just two of them made it to the Elite Eight — Kentucky and Texas A&M. The Wildcats lost to Kansas State, who was beaten by Loyola, and the Aggies were beaten by Michigan, who made it to the Final Four.
