Men's March Madness has reached the last stop on the road to the Final Four -- the Elite Eight.

Four regional championships in the 2025 NCAA Tournament will be played this weekend as teams look to punch tickets to San Antonio, Texas, for the Final Four.

A No. 1 seed has yet to fall as the Auburn Tigers, Duke Blue Devils, Florida Gators and Houston Cougars are all on the brink of the national semifinals. Three No. 2 seeds -- the Alabama Crimson Tide, Michigan State Spartans and Tennessee Volunteers -- are still dancing as well.

The lowest-seeded team in this year's Elite Eight field? That would be the No. 3 Texas Tech Raiders.

But while the regional finals may not feature any Cinderella squads, it's certainly not short on heavyweight showdowns. From the matchups to the schedule and more, here's what to know about the Elite Eight:
