Final Four Bracket

The NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament determines the national championship in men's college basketball. After the first three rounds of the tournament, four teams, known as the Final Four, are remaining and compete in three final games to determine the overall winner.

In the 2010 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, the Duke Blue Devils won the championship, narrowly defeating the Butler Bulldogs in the title game 61-59.

Final Four 2010 games were held on April 3 and April 5, 2010, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. The teams competing in the tournament were named on Selection Sunday, March 14, 2010. The regional brackets played out between March 16 and March 28.

The NCAA men's tournament begins with 65 teams. The two lowest-seeded teams compete in the Play-in Game to determine which will participate in the main tournament. Once the top 64 teams are established, each competes in one of four regional brackets, which are each operated in a single-elimination manner. The winners of each of the regional brackets go on to play in the Final Four.

The NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament operates in the same manner, however there is no play-in game, with only 64 teams competing in the tournament. The Women's Final Four is generally played during the same time as the men's, but offset by one day.

The 2009 Final Four began on April 4, 2009, and concluded with the championship game on April 6, 2009. In the first game, Michigan State upset Connecticut 82-73. The North Carolina Tar Heels defeated the Villanova Wildcats in the second game, 83 to 69. The Tar Heels went on to win the championship, 89 to 72.ESPN.com: Michigan State Spartans vs. North Carolina Tar Heels - Box Score
