Saturday's first game of a historic Final Four in San Antonio features No. 1 overall seed Auburn vs. No. 1 seed Florida in a battle of SEC foes. The winner between the Tigers vs.

Madness is heading toward a logical and possibly titanic conclusion: All four No. 1 seeds made it to the men’s Final Four. First, resilient Florida is underway against relentless Auburn. Later, Cooper Flagg and Duke take on Houston at 8:49 p.

Duke ’s Cooper Flagg has been named the 2025 recipient of the John R. Wooden Award, recognizing him as the most outstanding player in men’s college basketball. The announcement, made Saturday on ESPN’s College GameDay, cements Flagg’s place among the sport’s most impactful freshmen and underscores a season defined by excellence and consistency.

Cooper Flagg and his Duke men’s basketball team will compete against Houston in the Final Four in San Antonio, hoping to get one step closer to the Blue Devils’ sixth national championship in program history.

Cooper Flagg and his Duke teammates were days away from clinching a spot in the Final Four, and the Blue Devils' freshman star was planning ahead. It wasn't about anything on the court, though. It was to be ready the next time teammates Khaman Maluach and Patrick Ngongba broke out water guns at the cold tubs.
