The Final Four is set and no Texas teams made it.

The NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament began with seven Texas teams but by the Sweet 16 round, only two remained, Houston and Texas.

But the Cougars lost their Sweet 16 game, leaving only the Longhorns getting through to the Elite Eight with a chance to go to the Final Four by beating Miami on Sunday.

The Hurricanes spotted the Longhorns a 13-point lead midway through the second half. But Miami came charging back and tied the game and then won going away, downing Texas 88-81.

So, in the Final Four, Miami will play U-Conn in one semi-final on Saturday while Florida Atlantic takes on San Diego State in the other.

The winners meet for the Championship at NRG Stadium in Houston one week from tonight.
