A massive March upheaval this season has created a rare sight: two mid-majors playing for a spot in the national championship.
FAU had never been to the NCAA Tournament since joining Division I in 1993. The Owls flew through the regular season, earning their first AP Top 25 ranking while racking up 31 wins. They have continued to soar in the NCAA Tournament, taking out Memphis and fellow March darling Fairleigh Dickinson the first weekend, then fending off physical tests against Tennessee and Kansas State to reach their first Final Four.
San Diego State was likely headed toward a No. 1 seed before the pandemic canceled the 2020 NCAA Tournament and has been a physical menace all season. San Diego State held Charleston and Furman to their lowest-scoring games of the season the first weekend. Creighton and Alabama went a combined 5 for 44 from 3, lowest ever in a regional weekend by a team that reached the Final Four.
