NCAA Final Four: Which number one seed will cut down the nets?

Four number one seeds will tip off in the final four Saturday in San Antonio

It's happened only once before since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1986

That was 2008. Four powerhouse programs, fairly evenly matched. So who will cut down the nets on Monday night

The first matchup Saturday tips at 6.09 Eastern, and it's a battle of SEC rivals

The league got a record 14 teams into the tournament. Florida and Auburn are the two left standing

They played back on February 8th in Auburn, and Florida fell behind by 10 early, only to storm back and win it by 9

The three-point line was key. The Gators shot 13 for 33, while Auburn made just 7 of 22

Will it play out that way a second time? We've got to play hard, we've got to defend well, we've got to be physical, we have to rebound well

we've got to be strong with the ball and take care of it, and just do the things that we've done all year to make us really, really consistent

And the great thing is we have shot makers on our team. And at the end of the day, you've got to make shots to win the game

On the other side is Auburn, who now has the AP Coach of the Year in Bruce Pearl

He won the award Friday along with St. John's head coach Rick Pitino

It was the first tie in the award's 58-year history. Pearl was thankful, but has clearly focused on getting two more wins

And he wants everyone to know his team is the underdog. Of all the teams that are here, Houston has got history in addition of winning Final Fours

and being here before. Billy Donovan won some with Florida, now Todd's got him back and Duke

speaks for itself. This is, I don't want to say this is our one shining moment because we've had

a couple but this is rare On the other side of the bracket the game between Duke and Houston will tip about 30 minutes after the first game ends The Blue Devils and Cougars have winning streaks of 15 and 17 games respectively

Something has to give late Saturday. Duke All-Everything freshman Cooper Flagg was named

AP Player of the Year Friday, just the fourth freshman to earn the award, joining Zion Williamson

Anthony Davis, and Kevin Durant. The 18-year-old will lead the Blue Devils against the number one

defense in the country. Yeah, I mean, it's a surreal feeling. I think this whole tournament

process so far has been kind of surreal for me. I mean, these are the moments you dream about as a

little kid. You know, it's the biggest stage of college basketball. So, I mean, I'm just trying

to cherish these moments with my teammates that we have left. I mean, it's the road ends here

So how did the Cougars slow him down? Well, Kelvin Sampson has been there before. The Cougars

held Tennessee to an Elite Eight record low in the first half of their game last week, just 15 points

Sampson spent a good three minutes Friday comparing Flagg to some of the greats he's coached in his 30-plus years

His floor is really good at everything, but his ceiling is just his size

He finishes with his left hand around the paint, right hand. He's got a floater, can make a three

Really good free throw shooter. If you double him, you better get there quick because he can pass

At this stage, it's all about the small details. Four number one seeds, all fairly even in talent, but playing with slightly different styles

There may not be any Cinderella's left, but Saturday and Monday promise to deliver a few big March Madness moments
