Final Four 2018 Schedule: Game Times, TV Info, Live-Streaming and More

The Final Four is set. In what has been an upset-filled, historic 2018 NCAA tournament, only a handful of people had the clairvoyance or were lucky enough to predict that Villanova, Kansas, Michigan and Loyola of Chicago would be the last squads standing in the 68-team bracket.

Millions of people took a stab at forecasting which teams would make it to San Antonio to fight for a national championship, but according to ESPN Stats & Info, only a minute fraction of those who filled out a bracket got it right:

The semifinal doubleheader will take place Saturday, with the final played Monday, April 2. Villanova will be looking to win another national title after cutting down the nets in 2016, while Kansas is in its 15th Final Four and hoping to win its first championship since 2008.

Michigan is in the Final Four for the first time since 2013, but it might be the most unpopular team left, if only because the Wolverines are playing the wonderful underdog that is Loyola-Chicago, which has rattled off a string of last-second wins and a crushing upset to become one of the best Cinderella stories in NCAA tournament history.

Here's what you need to know to catch all the action.

If you trusted the selection committee, then at least one of the semifinal matchups made for easy pickings when the tournament began. No. 1 Villanova will take on No. 1 Kansas Saturday, ensuring a top-seeded team will reach the final.

Villanova advanced to the Final Four with a fairly straightforward 71-59 win over Texas Tech. Both teams shot just 33.3 percent from the field, but the Wildcats were excellent on the glass, grabbing 19 offensive rebounds to convert much-needed second-chance opportunities. Villanova's depth also shone during the performance, with five players scoring in double figures, led by Jalen Brunson with 15 points.

The Wildcats won handily despite the fact 71 points is well below their previous point totals (90, 87 and 81) in this tournament run. Their three-point prowess usually proves overwhelming for teams, even when their defense isn't at its best. But they have shown they can win all types of games this season.

Kansas will have its hands full in the semifinal, with Saturday's opponent able to generate points from a variety of players and capable of being effective when the shots don't fall. When facing a team like that, it helps to have someone who can take over a game in crunch time. Enter guard Malik Newman, who scored all 13 of the Jayhawks' points in overtime as they beat Duke 85-81 on Sunday.

The Athletic's Sam Vecenie felt the five-star recruit might start getting serious NBA attention after his display:

Newman finished with 32 points in total, topping the 28 he scored against Seton Hall in the second round. If he can heat up again, the Jayhawks will be tough to beat. However, it may be another player who has the biggest impact on this game, especially if Villanova needs to go to the boards again to get extra points. USA Today's Scott Gleeson believes Kansas center Udoka Azubuike could make the difference:

"Coach Bill Self, much like Villanova's Jay Wright, has been forced to play small ball more frequently than usual this season due to a lack of frontcourt depth, and it's Kansas 7-footer Udoka Azubuike who could be the ultimate X-Factor in that small vs. big lineup chess match that Self and Wright duel in. If Azubuike can hold his own against 'Nova's front line similarly to how he did against Duke's star-studded frontcourt, and KU can get another big lift from freshman Silvio De Sousa on the glass, then this team's chances of winning go up big time."

As for Loyola-Chicago versus Michigan, fans can only hope it's a thriller like the two teams have provided throughout this tournament. Loyola-Chicago pulled out wins in the final seconds of its first three contests before beating Kansas State 78-62 in the Elite Eight.

Michigan had close games against both Florida State on Saturday and in the second round against Houston, a game in which Jordan Poole kept the Wolverines' tournament run alive with an incredible buzzer-beating three-pointer.

Loyola-Chicago is a difficult team to defend against, as the Ramblers are an incredibly well-drilled passing team, whipping the ball around the court with ease and generating easy buckets because of it (50 percent made three-pointers against Kansas State).

The Ramblers may be a mid-major, but they have a long history, and the team won a national title in 1963. Their team chaplain, Sister Jean Dolores-Schmidt, has also emerged as something of a national sensation. The double-digit seeds will be hard to root against from a sentimental standpoint after what has already been an incredible tournament run.

As for Michigan, it will look to ride its punishing defense and guard Charles Matthews' scoring ability to victory. The Wolverines have the eighth-ranked scoring defense in the nation at 63.1 points per game, and that ability has held up well during the tournament run.

Matthews has come alive during March Madness, earning the West Region's Most Outstanding Player honors by scoring in double figures each game and playing ferocious defense. Matthews has struggled at times this season but has come through when his team needed it most.

"I never lost my confidence," he said, per Nick Baumgardner of the Detroit Free Press. "This is a journey. I knew my shot wasn't going in the way I wanted it to, but I had to do other things to impact the game. But I never lost confidence in myself."

Michigan will have to keep its confidence if it wants to beat Loyola-Chicago, a team that has proved it belongs to be in this final stage of the hunt for the national title.
