A Sixers fan's guide to watching the Final Four: Cooper Flagg, others

The Philadelphia 76ers still have five games left in the 2024-25 season as they continue with what has been a miserable season. However, the focus at this point is the NBA draft as they look to be in the best position to keep their top 6 protected draft pick.

While the Sixers will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday, the Final Four in the men's NCAA Tournament will be underway featuring some really good teams and some top NBA prospects.
