It’s the bluest of bluebloods meeting in New Orleans for a shot at the NCAA championship. We’ve got the best moments and analysis from the Final Four.
The calendar has turned to April, but we’ve reached the penultimate night of March Madness. Saturday’s tipoff of the 2022 Final Four in New Orleans features the bluest of blue-blood matchups and ticket prices to match. Between the Kansas Jayhawks, Villanova Wildcats, Duke Blue Devils and North Carolina Tar Heels, the schools have combined to win 17 NCAA championships and produced college basketball and NBA legends. The No.2 seed Wildcats face the No.1 seed Jayhawks to start the night. This is the fourth time Kansas coach Bill Self and Villanova’s Jay Wright have faced off with these schools in the Sweet 16 or beyond. Each time the winner has gone on to win the title. Their most recent meeting came in the 2018 Final Four when Villanova clobbered Kansas. Kansas forward Ochai Agbaji, who is averaging 18.9 points this season, is the top-rated NBA draft prospect in this matchup.
