As March transitions into April, only four teams remain standing in the thrilling landscape of college basketball.
Following a series of intense matchups, the Final Four lineup is complete. The action kicks off with No. 3 Illinois facing off against No. 2 UConn. In the second game, a clash of titans unfolds as top seeds Michigan and Arizona go head-to-head.
The Elite Eight showdown between Duke and UConn epitomized the chaos and excitement of March Madness.
