We're less than a month away from the start of the 2024 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.

Who's excited?

The best postseason tournament in sports is now less than four weeks away from getting started. The 68-team 2024 NCAA Tournament field will be announced in less than a month, followed up by the first round of the Big Dance.


Who will end up reaching the Final Four?

ESPN's computer model, the Basketball Power Index, has updated its prediction for the Final Four as we head into the final week of February. Here's who ESPN's computer model has making the Final Four right now:

• Houston
• Purdue
• Arizona
• Alabama

Houston looks like the best team in college basketball right now, at least, that's according to the advanced metrics. The Cougars play ferocious defense and have the talent on offense to beat anyone. They escaped Baylor with an overtime win on Saturday afternoon.

Purdue and Arizona, meanwhile, have also looked like top teams all season long. The Boilermakers have had some early NCAA Tournament exits in recent seasons, but will look to finally break through this March.

Who do you have making it to the Final Four as we head into the final week of February?
