Final Four 2023: How to live stream March Madness Today on CBS

This March has been crazier than most. We came into the Men’s Final Four with no No. 1, No. 2, or No. 3 seeds in the field. UConn No. 4 is the highest seed remaining, followed by a pair of No. 5 seeds at Miami and San Diego State. This year’s Dancing Cinderella is No. 9 Florida Atlanta. This is the first Final Four appearance for any school other than UConn. The last time the Final Four brought together three participants for the first time was more than 50 years ago, in 1970.
Florida Atlantic takes on San Diego State in Game 1 today, April 1, at 6:09 p.m. ET (3:09 p.m. PT)with UConn and Miami in the last drink which should start at 8:49 p.m. ET (5:49 p.m. PT).
