College basketball’s premier event hits Dallas this weekend when Florida, Connecticut, Wisconsin and Kentucky all take the court in the Final Four with hopes of a national championship.
The Gators and Huskies meet in the first game on Saturday evening with a tip coming shortly after 6 p.m. ET. Florida, the No. 1 overall seed, has won 30 consecutive games, but its last loss actually came against UConn in December on a Shabazz Napier buzzer-beater. Napier and Scottie Wilbekin are expected to steal the spotlight in the first semifinal game, making it a true battle of the backcourts. Napier had 26 points and Wilbekin had 15 when the two teams met in Storrs.

Wisconsin, making its first trip to the Final Four in the Bo Ryan era, draws a Kentucky team that has hit its stride at the right time. The Wildcats were picked No. 1 in the preseason polls, but struggled at times in the regular season. But after playing Florida tough in the SEC Tournament championship game, Kentucky has come together in the NCAA Tournament, beating top seed Wichita State in the third round and knocking off last year's runner-up, Michigan, in the Elite Eight. The Badgers reached the Final Four with a thrilling overtime win over Arizona last Saturday.
