There may be no Cinderella stories in 2025’s March Madness tournament, but you can’t argue that the strongest schools aren’t in the semifinals.
Regardless of who wins Saturday’s games, a No. 1 seeded school will walk away with the NCAA Championship this year. All four teams in the Final Four are top seeds of their division.
Does that take away some of the drama? Perhaps. But does it guarantee hard-fought games? Absolutely.
