The first game features two of the most talked about big men in college basketball: 7-foot, 2-inch Roy Hibbert of Georgetown and 7-foot Greg Oden of Ohio State.

In the nightcap, Florida, the top overall seed in this year's NCAA Tournament, and UCLA, meet for the second consecutive year in the tournament. Last season, the Gators beat the Bruins, 73-57, in the title game at Indianapolis.

Florida features sharp-shooting guard Lee Humphrey and versatile big men Al Horford and Joakim Noah.

UCLA, one of the nation's best defensive teams, has Pac-10 Player of the Year Aaron Afflalo (16.9 points per game) and fellow guard Darren Collison.

In last year's championship game, Noah had 16 points, nine rebounds and a record nine blocked shots.
