The NCAA men’s college basketball season is coming to a close with an unprecedented Final Four line-up. On Saturday, April 1, 2023, in Houston, No. 9 Florida Atlantic University (FAU) faced No. 5 San Diego State in the first game of the Final Four. San Diego State guard Lamont Butler made a buzzer-beating jumper to give the Aztecs a 72-71 win over the Owls, sending them to their first national championship game.
This is the first time since seeding was introduced 44 years ago that none of the four teams in the Final Four are No. 1, 2 or 3 seeds. Florida Atlantic, San Diego State, No. 5 Miami, and No. 4 University of Connecticut are the four teams left in the tournament.
The Aztecs had a difficult game against the Owls, who built a 14-point lead in the second half. However, the Aztecs managed to fight back and secure the win in the final seconds. “It’s unbelievable,” Butler said. “I’m just happy for my team right now.”
The Final Four will continue on Saturday with Miami and UConn facing off in the second game. The winners of the two games will then compete in the national championship game on Monday, April 3. This is the first time San Diego State has made it to the Final Four, and they will be looking to make history by winning the national championship.
