The Men’s March Madness Final Four is set to take place tonight with two No. 1 seeds in action. The first semifinal will feature No. 1 Purdue taking on No. 11 NC State, while the second semifinal will see defending champions UConn facing off against No. 4 Alabama.
UConn is aiming to repeat as champions, a feat that has not been achieved since Florida did so in the 2006-07 season. NC State is trailing Purdue by six points at halftime, but they are fighting back despite their poor performance on the boards. Purdue, on the other hand, is dominating the boards and had a quick start in the game.
Zach Edey has already scored 10 points for Purdue, while NC State’s Michael O’Connell is dealing with an injury. The games will take place at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, with NC State vs. Purdue being a highly anticipated matchup.
NC State’s run to the Final Four could be worth more than $9 million to coach Kevin Keatts, marking a historic moment for the team. NC State has become the 11th seed to reach the national semifinals, equaling the lowest seed to ever make it this far.
Fans can expect an intense matchup between NC State and Purdue, with both teams giving it their all to secure a spot in the championship game. The odds and predictions for the game are up in the air, making it anyone’s game to win. Stay tuned for an exciting night of college basketball as the Men’s March Madness Final Four unfolds.
