Following the completion of Sunday’s Elite Eight games we will have the Final Four teams that will battle it out to be the 2023 national champions. CBS would televise all three games from NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.
The Final Four games will be held on Saturday, Apr. 1, and Monday, Apr. 2. It should be quite a finish if the games from Thursday are any indication. As we march towards the championship game a week from Monday, we are focused on which conference has produced the most Final Four teams.
Since 2000 the ACC and Big Ten have produced 33 Final Four teams between them. However, the Big Ten has been in a title drought since Tom Izzo and the Michigan State Spartans cut down the nets in 2000. The last time a team from the conference made it to the final weekend of the NCAA Tournament was in 2019, and it was with the Spartans. On the flip side, the ACC has won two titles since 2017. The North Carolina Tar Heels won it all in 2017 and the Virginia Cavaliers cut down the nets in 2019.
The Big 12 checks in at No. 4 and have back-to-back national champions with the Baylor Bears and Kansas Jayhawks. Neither team made it to the Sweet 16.
Here are the breakdowns for all 88 Final Four appearances by conference and when they last appeared.
