I asked AI who will be playing the final four in the Alamodome. What it had to say is below. It listed “Other teams to keep an eye on”, that’s where you’ll find University of Houston and Texas. It will be interesting to see how this prediction pans out.

AI… Predicting the Final Four teams in the NCAA basketball tournament is always tough, as there are so many variables at play, from upsets to injuries to hot teams peaking at the right time. However, based on recent performances, top-ranked teams, and player power, I can give you some strong contenders.

Here are some teams that are frequently considered potential Final Four candidates for 2025:

1. Kansas Jayhawks

• Why?: Kansas is always a powerhouse under Bill Self, with consistent talent and a strong tournament pedigree. They have a mix of experienced players and high-level recruits, making them a tough team in March.

2. Duke Blue Devils

• Why?: Duke has a lot of top-tier talent, especially with their recruiting classes. Under coach Jon Scheyer, they continue to be an elite program. If their young stars mature during the tournament, they could make a deep run.

3. Purdue Boilermakers

• Why?: With one of the best big men in college basketball in Zach Edey, Purdue is always a contender. They play strong defense and can dominate in the paint, making them a difficult team to match up against in the tournament.

4. UConn Huskies

• Why?: UConn has been consistently strong under coach Dan Hurley. They’re known for their balanced attack, and with a mix of upperclassmen and top-tier freshmen, they could make a big run in March Madness.

Other teams to keep an eye on for potential Final Four spots include:

• Arizona Wildcats
• Gonzaga Bulldogs
• Kentucky Wildcats
• Houston Cougars
• Texas Longhorns

Keep in mind that there are often surprises in the tournament, and lower-seeded teams can sometimes make deep runs. Which team are you leaning toward for your bracket?
