The 2018 Final Four is here, so it's time to get a fresh start. Enter CBS Sports'Round-by-Round game now for a chance to win a trip to the 2019 Final Four.
The Final Four is set. Finally. We're headed to San Antonio for the conclusion of the 2018 NCAA Tournament, one of the wildest in history. The four teams are in: Villanova, Kansas, Michigan and Loyola-Chicago.
But the schedule for the Final Four is out now, with games scheduled for Saturday, March 31. Loyola-Chicago plays Michigan in the opener, after the No. 11 seed Ramblers stunningly took the South Regional that fell to shreds. The No. 3 seed Wolverines came out of the West Regional, where the top two teams couldn't make it out of the first weekend.
In the second game, No. 1 seed Villanova enters the Final Four as arguably the favorite, having run through any opposition in the East Regional without much problem. The Wildcats will have their hands full with the No. 1 seed Jayhawks, who played close games throughout their victory in the Midwest Regional.
