Listen "Final Four 2023: Houston! We have seen this before!"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Historically Speaking Sports Podcast Dana Auguster talks about the this year's final four in Houston. Some consider this National Semifinal to be unprecedented, yet we have seen this before. Connecticut, San Diego State, Miami and Florida Atlantic will battle in NRG Stadium for the right to be called National Champion 2023. This is the fourth Final four since 1980 where no number one seeds reached the national semifinal round and only the second since 1970 where there are three teams that are making their debuts in the Final Four. In the second segment of the show, Dana Auguster will highlight the three other times that the final four was been contested in H-Town including one of the most memorable finishes in tournament history. To round out the show, we will highlight the first "Modern" Final Four. The 1980 Final Four that featured eventual champion Louisville, Purdue, Iowa and UCLA and none of those teams were top seeds in their region.
