After the first three tickets were punched for this week's Final Four, the final spot in the national semifinals will be filled Sunday with the last Elite Eight game between Auburn and Michigan State.

The NCAA tournament's greatest moments in history have been manufactured by teams that crashed the party. Cinderella teams are often the most entertaining participants each year, with the likes of George Mason, Saint Peter's, Oakland, Mercer, Norfolk State and other underdogs creating lasting, grand memories in March.

Eight teams will compete in the Elite Eight on Sunday and Monday for four spots in the Final Four next weekend. Defending champion and No. 1 seed South Carolina takes on No. 2 Duke at 1 p.m. ET to tip off the action, while No. 1 overall seed UCLA plays No. 3 seed LSU to round out Sunday's games.

No. 1 Houston will try for its first Final Four since 2021 when it takes on Tennessee in Indianapolis, while the No. 1 overall Auburn takes on Michigan State in the other Elite Eight game. Both No. 1 seeds are slight favorites to earn a trip to San Antonio, site of next Saturday's semifinals.

The 2025 Men’s March Madness tournament is taking place in several exciting cities, including Seattle, Lexington, Ky., Providence, R.I., and San Francisco. See below to find out the venues and host cities for each round.

The four No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament escaped the second weekend of the Big Dance and are heading to the Final Four to cap one of the chalkiest NCAA Tournaments ever. It's the first time since 2008 and just the second time since the field expanded to 64 teams in 1985 that all four No.

Auburn defeated a talented Michigan team 78-65 in the Sweet 16 and had the edge in field goals, free throws, rebounds, and assists. The winner will go on to face Florida in the Final Four in San Antonio, Texas. Tickets: Buy tickets at Vivid Seats, SeatGeek, StubHub, and Ticketmaster.
