The final two bids to the Final Four will be awarded Sunday in a pair of seismic Elite Eight clashes as the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament winds to a close. Up first will be No. 1 seed Houston taking on No.

After defeating No. 16 SIU Edwardsville, the Cougars beat No. 8 Gonzaga. Then, they upended No. 4 Purdue and No. 2 Tennessee to reach the Final Four. Houston became the first program since 2017 North Carolina to navigate the most difficult seed path possible for a No. 1 team.

Broome took a hard fall on court and remained sitting on the floor in pain for several minutes. He eventually stood up with help and walked to the locker room with the aid of trainers.

Boston College got a goal from Teddy Stiga and 22 saves from Jacob Fowler. Denver will meet up with Western Michigan in the April 10 Frozen Four, while Boston University will play Penn State.

Twenty-five years after his lone national title, Tom Izzo has come up short of a second. Michigan State fell behind by 15 points in the opening minutes and never could fight all the way back.

The Washington Capitals are officially on Ryan Leonard watch.

Only five double-digit seeds advanced over the past two days: two No. 10s, one No. 11 and two No. 12s. That ties the fewest since 2017.

Florida was the first team to reach the Final Four with an 84-79 win over Texas Tech in the West Region final on Saturday. Duke followed by shutting down high-flying Alabama for an 85-65 win in the East Region final. That sets up an all-Southeastern Conference national semifinal between Florida and Auburn, with Houston facing Duke in the other.

The No. 2 seed Tennessee Volunteers (30-7) and the No. 1 seed Houston Cougars (33-4) will meet on Sunday in the NCAA Tournament Elite 8.
