When Florida Atlantic faces San Diego State in the first of two national semifinal games Saturday, April 1, it marks just the second time two mid-majors will meet in the Final Four since the NCAA Tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial) and Paramount+ (free trial).

FAU (35-5) had never been to the NCAA Tournament since joining Division I in 1993. The Owls flew through the regular season, earning their first AP Top 25 ranking while racking up 31 wins. They have continued to soar in the NCAA Tournament, taking out Memphis and fellow March darling Fairleigh Dickinson the first weekend, then fending off physical tests against Tennessee and Kansas State to reach their first Final Four.

San Diego State became a mid-major power under Steve Fisher, earning six straight NCAA Tournament appearances from 2009-15. His longtime assistant, Brian Dutcher, has pushed the Aztecs to unprecedented heights for the program.

San Diego State was likely headed toward a No. 1 seed before the pandemic canceled the 2020 NCAA Tournament and has been a physical menace all season.

The defensive-minded Aztecs may not play a pretty game, but they make teams play their game, a method that has taken them to the Mountain West Conference’s first trip to the Final Four.

All that’s left is reaching the summit.

The last time two mid-majors played in the Final Four was 2011, when Butler beat VCU in, you guessed it, Houston.

Florida Atlantic and San Diego State play in the Final Four of the NCAA tournament at 5:09 p.m. (6:09 p.m. ET) on Saturday, April 1.
