March Madness Bracket

While brackets were busted early due to the sheer number of major upsets early in the 2022 NCAA Tournament, the Final Four has a rather blue-blooded look to it this year.

All four programs have won multiple NCAA Tournament titles—there are a combined 17 national championships between these Final Four participants—and each has claimed at least one since 2008.

Only one will hang another championship banner in their rafters at the conclusion of March Madness. Each team knows how difficult the journey will be and it should be nothing short of thrilling as they put it all on the line for a chance to reach the national title game.

With that in mind, here is how you can watch these much-anticipated 2022 NCAA Tournament games tonight, as well as check out the updated Final Four odds courtesy of FanDuel:

Saturday, April 2

• No. 1 Kansas (-4.5) vs. No. 2 Villanova: 6:09 pm ET (TBS)
• No. 2 Duke (-4) vs. No. 8 North Carolina: 8:49 pm ET (TBS)

It all starts at 6:09 p.m. ET when Kansas takes on Villanova in the opening Final Four matchup.

The No. 2 Wildcats breezed through the South region with a dominant run that saw them win all four games by five or more points. Nova now has a chance to reach the title game for the third time since 2016.

They’ll face a tough test against the top-seeded Jayhawks. Kansas looked beatable at times—notably against Creighton and Providence during its trip through the Midwest portion of the bracket—but stepped up in the Elite 8 with a 26-point victory over Miami last weekend.

KU is seeking its first national championship game berth in a decade and has a good shot at making it as 4.5-point chalk against Villanova tonight.

The semifinals conclude with an iconic rivalry clash between North Carolina and Duke, which tips off at 8:49 p.m. ET.

The No. 8 Tar Heels became the highest seed to reach the Final Four after taking a rather unexpected path through the East region. UNC knocked off Baylor, the defending champions, and UCLA—another reigning Final Four squad—before the Elite 8, where the powerhouse ended a Cinderella run by No. 15 Saint Peter’s.

The victory set up a matchup with the Blue Devils, North Carolina’s longtime nemesis. This will be the 257th all-time meeting between these historic programs, a series UNC holds a 142-115 edge in after winning three of the last four battles.

Duke is projected to reverse those recent fortunes with a win in the Final Four. The Blue Devils are currently a four-point favorite following their impressive run through the West region.

With the pressure of head coach Mike Krzyzewski’s final season looming over the team, No. 2 Duke managed to topple a slew of quality foes—including Michigan State, Texas Tech and Arkansas—to reach the final weekend of March Madness.
