The second Final Four game will be between two conference champions as Duke faces Houston.
The Blue Devils have been a top team all season thanks to Cooper Flagg and the core around him. The freshman phenom has helped the team win the ACC Tournament and crush nearly every opponent in the NCAA Tournament.
The one exception was against No. 4 Arizona, which the Blue Devils defeated by only seven. The other three games were wins by at least 20 points, even against No. 2 Alabama.
No team has played as well as the Blue Devils in the tournament, so it'll be a major challenge for Houston to slow them down. That being said, Houston is equipped with a team that can do just that.
The Big 12 Tournament champions are a deep team that can run the floor. Their defense is the highlight of this team, with arguably no better team in the country on that end of the floor.
After close wins against No. 8 Gonzaga and No. 4 Purdue, Houston beat No. 2 Tennessee by 19 points. That's exactly the type of win the team needed heading into the Final Four.
