NCAA March Madness has reached it's final week. At the men's tournament, the No. 1 seed Florida Gators were knocked out of the competition by No. 9 Iowa, which means they won't be snagging a second consecutive championship title this year. No. 1 seed Duke also fell to No. 2 UConn during their Elite Eight game, where UConn's Braylon Mullins hit a history-making three-point buzzer-beater to win the game. That means the teams headed to the Final Four are Illinois, Duke, Michigan and Arizona. In the women's tournament, defending champion and No. 1 seed UConn is still in it to win it, and the entire Final Four consists of No. 1 seeds: Texas, South Carolina and UCLA round out the remaining teams.

The men's Final Four begins Saturday, and games will be spread across TNT, TBS and TruTV. It will stream on HBO Max. The women's Final Four games are Friday, airing on ESPN and streaming on ESPN Unlimited.
