Tonight's the night for the Final Four Title game.
UConn's Adama Sanogo is in line to win the Final Four's Most Outstanding Player award for 2023.When the last four teams standing in the NCAA Mens Basketball Tournament wound up being a four seed, two five seeds and a nine seed, and only one of those four teams could qualify as a"blue blood" program, there was a concern that the Final Four here in Houston would be some sort of afterthought on the sports landscape.
So while ticket prices on the secondary market plummeted to under $100 to attend BOTH games on Saturday, and while television ratings will likely back up the notion outlined in the above paragraph, the games themselves on Saturday were compelling, and not surprisingly, the city of Houston put on a good show this weekend, marquee value of participants be damned!
In the end, the opener saw San Diego State, who trailed the entire second half except when the clock read 0:00, defeat Cinderella Florida Atlantic on a Lamont Butler buzzer beater. The nightcap saw heavy favorite Connecticut show why they are a heavy favorite, with their fifth straight double digit win of the tourney, 72-60 over Miami.
Tonight, it will be Connecticut, going for their fifth title in school history, against San Diego State, participating in the first Final Four for any team in MOUNTAIN WEST CONFERENCE history, let alone school history. So, if you plan to tune in, here are a few things to watch for:With 14 minutes to go in the semifinal, San Diego State trailed FAU by a score of 56-42, and they looked dead in the water offensively.
