Line: Davidson -3 (-110); Richmond +3 (-110)

Way to the final: Davidson (27-5) beat No. 5 St. Louis, 84-69, in the semifinals behind 21 points by guard Foster Loyer. Barring a last-second 3, Richmond (22-12) kept second-placed Dayton scoreless in the final 5:14 to advance to the finals with a 68-64 win. Grant Golden, rebounding from 15 points down in the second half, led the Spiders by 18 points.

Tennessee (25-7) held off a furious Kentucky in the second half to win their semifinals 69-62. The Vols defeated Texas A&M 90-80 in their only meeting of the regular season.

Memphis racked up two double-digit wins over Houston in the regular season.

Way to the final: The Hawkeyes (25-9) broke Indiana’s hearts, 80-77, after a banked-in 3-pointer from Jordan Bohannon by 1.1 seconds.
