Which teams are playing in the Final Four of the 2022 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament?
The action at Caesars Superdome begins with No. 1 seed Kansas facing No. 2 seed Villanova at 6:09 p.m. ET in a rematch of the 2018 Final Four, when the Wildcats defeated the Jayhawks en route to a national championship. Villanova is back in the Final Four for the third time in the last six NCAA Tournaments. Jay Wright’s Wildcats went on to win it all in their last two Final Four appearances (2016 and 2018). Meanwhile, Bill Self and the Jayhawks are making their first trip to the Final Four since that 2018 defeat at the hands of the Wildcats. Kansas last advanced to the title game in 2012, with their most recent championship coming in 2008.
Then, a historic showdown between No. 2 seed Duke and No. 8 seed UNC will take center stage at 8:49 p.m. ET. The two heated rivals have met 256 total times but never before in an NCAA Tournament. The Blue Devils and Tar Heels split their two meetings this season, with each winning on the road. Will Duke get revenge after UNC spoiled Mike Krzyzewski’s final home game?
