No. 1 seed Houston reached the Final Four for the second time since 2021 with a statement 69-50 win over No. 2 seed Tennessee. The theme of No. 1 seeds dominating the NCAA Tournament continued in the final Elite Eight game on Sunday as Auburn defeated No. 2 seed Michigan State behind a big performance from star big man Johni Broome.
