NCAA March Madness Semi Final Results

The 2025 NCAA Men's Basketball Final Four featured two compelling semifinal matchups:

Florida Gators vs. Auburn Tigers

In a historic all-SEC semifinal, the Florida Gators defeated the Auburn Tigers 79-73. Walter Clayton Jr. led Florida with an outstanding 34-point performance, marking the first consecutive 30-point games this deep in the NCAA Tournament since Larry Bird in 1979. This victory advanced Florida to the national championship game for the first time since their back-to-back titles in 2006 and 2007.

Houston Cougars vs. Duke Blue Devils

The Houston Cougars staged a dramatic comeback to beat the Duke Blue Devils 70-67. Duke led by 14 points with just over eight minutes remaining, but Houston's relentless defense held Duke to only one field goal in the final 10 minutes. A controversial foul call on Duke's Cooper Flagg and clutch free throws by J’Wan Roberts contributed to Houston's late surge, culminating in a 9-0 run in the final 33 seconds. This win secured Houston's first national title game appearance since 1984. SBNation.com+1talkSPORT+1
