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.

The 2025 NCAA women's basketball tournament continued on Sunday, with two of the four Elite Eight matchups in the books. South Carolina took down Duke by the score of 54-50 in the first contest, as head coach Dawn Staley's squad clinched a spot in the Final Four for the fifth consecutive season.
