The 2025 NCAA Tournament has reached the Final Four and the action begins on Saturday with the two national semifinals then concludes on Monday with the national championship. For the second time in the history of March Madness, all four No. 1 seeds advanced to the Final Four and now we’ll see Auburn, Houston, Duke and Florida battle it out for the title. Auburn vs. Florida (-2.5, 159.5) begins at 6:09 p.m. ET on Saturday, while Duke (-5.5, 136.5) vs. Houston will follow and is scheduled for approximately 8:49 p.m. ET. Both games will be played at the Alamodome in San Antonio on CBS. 

One major storyline that emerged from the Elite Eight was an arm injury to Auburn forward Johni Broome. He was able to return to practice on Thursday and told reporters he plans to be 100% by Saturday. How might Broome’s injury status impact the Final Four in San Antonio?

Top 2025 NCAA Tournament Final Four score predictions

One Final Four score prediction: La Canfora is predicting that Florida takes down top overall seed Auburn 83-78 in the first national semifinal. To what extent Broome’s shoulder injury limits his production looms large here, as he was dominating Michigan State before his exit and looked like he was clearly protecting himself after his return. However, even when Broome was healthy, Florida handled the Tigers pretty comfortably in a regular-season matchup at Auburn in February and the Gators have piled up high-profile wins all season.

“The Gators dropped 90 on Auburn at Auburn, which is hard for me to forget, and probably hard for the Tigers to forget. We are splitting hairs here but I feel like Florida is a little better and a little more balanced and their shot-makers will help them be a shot or two better here. Also like the fact that Alex Condon will be another week removed from some of his ankle issues,” La Canfora told SportsLine. See La Canfora’s prediction for Duke vs. Houston and the Final Four score predictions from all SportsLine’s other college basketball experts here.
