Final Four glance
Auburn 32-5
Florida 34-4
Duke 35-3
Houston 34-4

(All four are No. 1 seeds — Auburn from the South region, Florida from the West, Duke from the East and Houston from the Midwest. It’s only the second time in Final Four history that four No. 1 seeds will play in the national semifinals. Both times, in downtown San Antonio. The other was in 2008, when the field included Kansas, Memphis, North Carolina and UCLA. That year, Kansas beat Memphis for the title.)
