The NCAA already has a Final Four for the men’s draw of its basketball tournament. There was no final surprise with St. Peter’s, this year’s Cinderella in March Madness, and four of the sport’s great universities having qualified for the finals. Kansas and North Carolina have closed a table in which Villanova and Duke had ensured continuity. The final phase will be between Saturday, April 2, and Monday, April 4 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, with a capacity of 73,000 spectators.
A week of preparation is what the four teams will have for the Final Four, which will be played from Saturday, April 2, and is one of the most anticipated, since, for the first time in history, a match of the greatest college basketball rivalry in the NCAA tournament will happen in a final stay.
Duke, North Carolina, Kansas, and Villanova are the teams that will write the end of this exciting story of March Madness 2022 this season, and we are sure that they will give us a weekend full of emotions and, above all, a lot of spectacular basketball.

The greatest rivalry in NCAA history is, without a doubt, North Carolina vs. Duke, so this game is one of the most anticipated by all college basketball fans, and what better way to watch it than in a final phase of a tournament as important as March Madness 2022.
Duke left Cal-State Fullerton, Michigan State, Texas Tech, and Arkansas on the way to be the champion of the Western Region, in which they were #2 behind Gonzaga, #1 in the entire tournament, and who surprisingly was left out in the Sweet 16 after a terrible loss against the Razorbacks. They are, right now, the favorite team to take the championship in this March Madness, but, with all the upsets that have occurred, they cannot be trusted against any team.
While North Carolina is, without a doubt, the surprise in this Final Four. This is a college that has a lot of tradition in NCAA history, but even though they didn’t have the best season and were #8 in the Eastern Region, they managed to beat Marquette in the first round, then crushed #1 and current champion of this tournament, Baylor, in extra time, followed by wins against UCLA and “Cinderella” Saint Peter’s to reach the Final Four.

Kansas, with 32 wins before March Madness, and as the team with the best win-loss record, will face Villanova in this first match of the Final Four where we will find out which team will be the first place on this complicated podium.
Only one #1 has reached these defining stages, Kansas, which they did by beating Texas, Creighton, Providence, and Miami (FL) in route to their first Final Four since 2018 in San Antonio. Kansas’ last appearance in the national semifinals ended with a loss to the Villanova Wildcats, their rival for this game.
The champion of the Big East tournament, who arrived as #2 in the South Region, managed to beat Delaware, Ohio State, Michigan, and Houston to achieve this very good performance in March Madness and thus reach the Final Four for the third time since 2016, seeking his third title in that span and fourth overall.
