Men’s Final Four Schedule Announced After UNC Punches Last Ticket
The schedule for the 2022 men’s Final Four in New Orleans has officially been revealed.
After punching the final ticket in its win over tournament darling Saint Peter’s, No. 8 North Carolina will square off in a highly-anticipated matchup against No. 2 Duke in the nightcap at 8:49 p.m. ET. The contest will be coach Mike Krzyzewski’s final showdown against the program’s most heated rival.
And on the other side, Kansas, the only remaining No. 1 seed, will play No. 2 Villanova at 6:09 p.m. ET to kick off the doubleheader. The Jayhawks earned their spot after beating Miami earlier Sunday.
