The 2025 NCAA Men's Final Four will be held in San Antonio, and while the Spurs' Frost Bank Center will not be used, the 134,000-square-foot Victory Capital Performance Center, which is the pride and joy of the Spurs organization, is hosting teams as they prepare of their games.
Auburn, Florida, Houston, and Duke, the four number-one seeds, are all in town, and the Blue Devils recently worked out on the Spurs' court alongside NBA legend Davis Robinson.

"It's crazy, it's super nice," said Duke's starting guard Sion James. "You can tell it's brand new, made nice, so we appreciate them for that. We got after it, too."
With consensus top pick Cooper Flagg in town, the hype surrounding the 2025 NBA Draft is off the charts, especially in San Antonio. Flagg, like Victor Wembanyama, is being touted as a win-now player and the Spurs will certainly be in the lottery, hoping against the odds for a chance to draft him.
With Copper-mania taking over the Riverwalk, fans are thinking about the possibility of a Wemby/Flagg/Fox/Castle lineup.
"Tell Coop to make himself at home," posted a fan.
"Cooper and Kon [Knueppel] in the Spurs facility? Wow they fit perfectly in that practice facility!" joked another.
"If I'm Spurs I have all the trophies on display so Cooper can see," said a third fan.
Flagg grew up in Maine and was raised a Boston Celtics fan, although there is no chance he will be on the board by the time Boston makes their pick. In fact, whoever picks second is all but guaranteed to miss out on Flagg.
The 2023 and 2025 drafts are expected to be two of the best since 2003, so the Spurs picked a great time to rebuild and amass young talent. Can lightning strike twice?
