Clear your schedule for Saturday, April 6 so you can watch the two Final Four games to see who will be playing for the national championship on Monday.

And then there were four.

What started with 68 teams has been cut down to four and now the Final Four is set. Who will be the one team to cut down the nets and be crowned champions as ā€œOne Shining Momentā€ plays?

It’ll either be No. 5 Auburn who is playing in their first Final Four in program history. Bruce Pearl’s team is the lowest seed remaining as a No. 5. The Tigers haven’t slowed down since winning the SEC Tournament and will face No. 1 Virginia.

The Cavaliers lost to a No. 16 seed last year but continue to seek redemption as they are in their first Final Four since 1984. Kyle Guy and Ty Jerome have led the scoring attack for Tony Bennett’s team.

Auburn and Virginia are the openers for the Final Four that promises to be a great day for college basketball fans on Saturday.
