The Final Four is the annual conclusion to college basketball's NCAA Tournament, where the four regional winners compete for the national title. The tournament format begins with 65 teams. The two lowest-seeded teams compete in the Play-in Game. Once the top 64 are established, a team must win four consecutive games to reach the Final Four.
