The Final Four for the 2023 NCAA men’s basketball tournament is set after a whirlwind weekend of games.

For the first time ever, there will not be a No. 1, 2 or 3 seed in the Final Four. Three of the four teams still alive are also making their Final Four debuts. So, the weekend will make history no matter what happens.

The betting odds and point spreads have been released for the two Final Four matchups on Saturday. Here they are, according to SI Sportsbook.

The first matchup between No. 5-seed San Diego State out of the South Region and No. 9-seed Florida Atlantic out of the East Region has the Aztecs slightly favored (-138) over the Owls. There’s a 2.5-point spread, along with an over/under total of 131.5.

The second game between No. 4-seed UConn out of the West Region and No. 5-seed Miami out of the Midwest Region sees a bit more of a gap as the Huskies are heavily favored (-250) over the Hurricanes. The point spread is set at 5.5, while the over/under total is 149.5.

Additionally, the betting odds for the favorites to win the entire NCAA men’s tournament have been updated. UConn (-125) has the shortest odds, followed by San Diego State (+360), Miami (+500) and Florida Atlantic (+600).
