The Final Four returns to Houston for the first time in 40 years and it tips off with the first national semifinal game: Butler vs. Virginia Commonwealth University at 5:09 p.m. The second semifinal, Kentucky vs. the University of Connecticut, will start 40 minutes after the end of game one. This Saturday night is something of a national sports holiday and more than 78,000 fans will pack a sold-out Reliant Stadium for the mega event.
