Florida basketball coach Todd Golden speaks at final press conference before heading to Final Four

Golden and the top-seeded Gators face fellow top and No. 1 overall seed Auburn Saturday in the Final Four at 6:09 p.m. in San Antonio.

The Final Four concludes March Madness beginning Saturday in San Antonio, with Duke playing Houston and SEC foes Auburn and Florida squaring off in the national semifinals.

Duke is back in the Final Four for the first time since 2022. The Blue Devils last won the national title in 2015.

Florida’s last titles came in 2006 and 2007, the back-to-back championships won by a group led by Joakim Noah and coached by Billy Donovan

Houston is in the Final Four for the seventh time, and the second under Kelvin Sampson (2021). Despite those numerous appearances, the Cougars have never claimed a national title.

Auburn is in the Final Four for the second time in program history, both under Bruce Pearl. The Tigers suffered a bitter defeat in the national semifinal in 2019 to eventual champion Virginia.
