The 2012 NCAA Tournament has just four teams and three games remaining, with Saturday's Final Four matchups in New Orleans determining who will play Monday night in the championship game.
The early game on the slate is by no means a normal appetizer, as it pits bitter in-state rivals Kentucky against Louisville. The Wildcats hold the upper hand against the Cardinals currently, having won 18 of the 29 games between the two programs, including a 69-62 victory this season.
The late game is no afterthought, however, as Kansas and big man Thomas Robinson will take on Ohio State and equally talented big Jared Sullinger. The Jayhawks and Buckeyes combined for 62 wins this season, and the two programs have 24 combined Final Four appearances between them.
Here is the schedule for Saturday's two Final Four matchups:
No. 1 Kentucky Wildcats vs. No. 4 Louisville Cardinals, 6:09 p.m. ET, CBS
No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes vs. No. 2 Kansas Jayhawks, approx. 8:49 p.m. ET, CBS.
