Final Four Matchups, Dates, and Times

(1) Kansas 32-3 (17-1) vs. (1) Dayton 33-2 27-6 (18-0) – Saturday, April 4 at 6:09 PM

(1) Gonzaga 35-2 (15-1) vs. (3) Seton Hall 25-9 (13-5) – Saturday, April 4 at 8:39 PM

How they got here?

The fans have come out for Kansas so far.  The Jayhawks have received 1,074 total votes through four rounds, making them the top vote getting so far.

Facing off against the Jayhawks will be Dayton.  Obi Toppin has certainly won over the CBB Review followers, after their fan vote helped him take home the 2020 CBB Review Player of the Year Award.

In game two, Gonzaga will look to head to the Championship.  The Zags had a somewhat close matchup against Maryland in the Elite Eight, but that showed why they aren’t any old mid-major.

Finally, come in the Seton Hall Pirates.  There’s no other explanation than the fact that Myles Powell is helping them get these votes.  The Hall actually lost the Instagram vote against Michigan State last round, but Pirates fans stormed in on Twitter, helping them advance to our ‘Final Four’.
