The 2025 Final Four is here and the men’s field is one of the strongest in recent history.

It features all four No. 1 seeds, with Auburn, Duke, Houston and Florida all making it to San Antonio. The games are set to start Saturday evening, with Auburn facing Florida at 5:09 and Duke facing Houston at 7:49.

There’s no shortage of storylines in this year’s Final Four and a number of star players will take the stage Saturday night.

Here are five players to watch in this year’s Final Four:

Cooper Flagg, Duke

After being named AP National Player of the Year on Friday, Flagg comes into the weekend with arguably more eyes on him than anyone else.

He’s the projected No. 1 overall pick in the NBA Draft and led Duke to one of the most dominant regular seasons in college basketball. Flagg is averaging 18.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, doing so while shooting 48.3% from the field.

Johni Broome, Auburn

The next biggest contender for national player of the year, Broome leads the way for Auburn, the NCAA tournament’s No. 1 overall seed.

He’s averaging 18.7 points, 10.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game this season and scored 25 in Auburn’s Elite Eight win over Michigan State. The other major storyline with Broome is how close to 100% will he be for Saturday’s game.

Broome injured his right arm and left leg against Michigan State, but he said he’ll be 100% by tipoff against Florida.

Walter Clayton Jr., Florida

Arguably the best guard in the country this season, Clayton has been one of the stars of the NCAA tournament.

He’s averaging 22.3 points per game over the course of the tournament, and 18.1 per game for the season. Clayton scored 19 points and added nine assists in Florida’s regular season win over Auburn, knocking down four 3-pointers.

LJ Cryer, Houston

Sticking with the guards, Cryer is Houston’s leading scorer and one of the best 3-point shooters left in the tournament.

He’s shooting 41.9% from beyond the arc this season and has made 113 total 3s. That mark leads all players in the Final Four, two ahead of Clayton. Cryer is averaging 15.4 points per game this season and 16.8 per game in the NCAA tournament.

Tahaad Pettiford, Auburn

Competing the theme of guards late in March Madness, Tahaad Pettiford has been arguably Auburn’s most important player during the NCAA tournament.

He’s averaging 17.3 points per game since the tournament began, with his most significant performance being a 20-point night against Michigan in the Sweet 16. He’s averaging 11.7 points per game on the season, all while making just one start.
