The 2025 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament is almost finished and the third Regional Final matchup happens in the Midwest Region where the Elite Eight matchup sees the 2 seed Tennessee Volunteers going against the 1 seed Houston Cougars at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
There are no real edges for any of these teams as the matchups fit their playing styles. Duke and Houston have the two best defenses in the country and play slower, so fitting they meet, while Auburn and Florida both play at quicker tempos and rank as the second and third-best offenses behind Duke.
