This year's Final Four will sound a bit different with Ian Eagle, not Jim Nantz, on the call, but the objective will remain the same for each team: make history.
Just getting to the Final Four is a massive achievement in itself. There are 363 Division I college basketball teams, and all but a few are eligible to reach the NCAA Tournament and play their way to the final weekend.
After blue bloods dominated the Final Four in 2022, 2023 brought more of the magic that makes college basketball great. The highest-seeded team was No. 4 UConn, which went on to cruise to a national championship, and the remaining three teams made their first appearance on the final weekend. Miami, San Diego State and FAU all broke brackets to get to Houston, though it was the Huskies who stayed hot and prevailed.
