The Final Four is set, and for the first time ever, it will not include a No. 1 or a No. 2 seed. In fact, it's just the third time ever that a No. 1 seed has not been involved in college basketball's championship weekend (1980 and 2006 the other instances). The 2011 Final Four in Houston will feature No. 3 Connecticut against No. 4 Kentucky on one side of the bracket, and on the opposing half, No. 8 Butler battling surprise Cinderella No. 11 VCU, which shocked No. 1 Kansas -- and the college basketball world -- on Sunday in the Elite Eight.
The Final Four begins Saturday at 6 p.m., live from Reliant Stadium in Houston, the home of the Houston Texans. With a capacity of 76,000, it is the largest venue in Final Four history.
Jim Nantz and Clark Kellogg will be joined by Steve Kerr, creating a three-man booth for the first time ever.
Here is the complete schedule:
