Two tickets to the 2025 Final Four were punched Saturday. Two more will be punched Sunday. And how do you feel about the lack of so-called Cinderellas now? That was among the storylines after the first two rounds of this NCAA Tournament — how the only double-digit seed that made the Sweet 16 was an Arkansas team coached by John Calipari.

No. 1 Houston will try for its first Final Four since 2021 when it takes on Tennessee in Indianapolis, while the No. 1 overall Auburn takes on Michigan State in the other Elite Eight game. Both No. 1 seeds are slight favorites to earn a trip to San Antonio, site of next Saturday's semifinals.
