NCAA men's basketball tournament: Streaming, matchups, TV info and odds for Final Four

A chance to play for a national championship will be on the line Saturday when the men's NCAA Tournament Final Four tips off in Houston.

One of the most unpredictable tournaments in history has resulted in the first time no team seeded third or higher has made it to the national semifinals. With their combined seeds of 23, this group has the second-highest total since the tournament expanded in 1985 — second only to the total of 26 in 2011.

Of this year's Final Four, three schools — Florida Atlantic, Miami and San Diego State — are making their first-ever appearances, while Connecticut is by far the most experienced with six trips to the Final Four and four national titles.
