The Florida Gators and the Auburn Tigers are set to face each other in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four on Saturday, April 5, 2025, at 6:09 p.m. EDT at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. This matchup is significant as both teams are No. 1 seeds, marking the first time since 2008 that all Final Four teams have held this status.
Florida’s journey to the Final Four has been remarkable, highlighted by a dramatic comeback against Texas Tech, overcoming a 10-point deficit with just over five minutes remaining. Key to their success has been senior guard Walter Clayton Jr., who has delivered clutch performances throughout the tournament.
Auburn, led by National Player of the Year candidate Johni Broome, secured their Final Four spot with a 70-64 victory over Michigan State. Broome’s consistent excellence has been a driving force for Auburn, and his presence adds a significant dynamic to their tournament run.
The outcome of this game will not only determine which team advances to the national championship but also ensure that the Southeastern Conference (SEC) is represented in the title game, as both teams are SEC members.
