The Final Four will start with No. 3 Illinois facing No. 2 UConn. The Fighting Illini are back in the Final Four for the first time in 21 years, when they made the championship game and finished as the runner-up.
UConn has been one of the most successful teams in the NCAA Tournament this century and will look to win its third March Madness title in four years. The Huskies made it to the Final Four in dramatic fashion, defeating Duke thanks to Braylon Mullins’ 3-pointer from the logo at the last second.
