Weekend cruises: How to find 2- and 3-night getaways

Weekend trips let you get away without missing too much work or school — but what if your preferred escape is a cruise? I'm here to tell you that weekend cruises are a real thing and can be a wonderful way of getting your ship fix when you're short on time.

The days of the two-night cruise to nowhere are gone, but two- and three-night weekend cruises still exist from ports ranging from Miami to Los Angeles. Read on to learn who sails these short getaways, where you can go and how much that weekend jaunt to the Bahamas is going to cost you.

Best weekend cruise itineraries

If you're looking to hop a ship for a few nights, you can't just sail from anywhere to anywhere. It's not like booking a hotel. Thanks to the complicated Passenger Vessel Services Act , foreign-flagged cruise ships cannot leave port, sail in circles with their casinos, shops and spas open, then return back to port two nights later. Nor can they hop from one U.S. city to another. Ships need to call in another country before heading back – which limits where you can sail on a weekend cruise.

The most popular weekend cruises sail from Miami, Port Canaveral or Palm Beach in Florida, to the Bahamas, with one or two stops in Nassau, Freeport or the cruise line's private island. Consider it a quick dash to the beach — ironic because you have to get to a warm-weather, coastal area to meet your ship in the first place.

On the Pacific Coast, weekend cruises from Los Angeles, San Diego or Long Beach in California (near Los Angeles) head to Ensenada, Mexico for a quick getaway. Farther north, you might find a short repositioning sailing between Seattle or San Francisco and Vancouver, British Columbia at the beginning or end of the Alaska cruise season .

Weekend cruises from New York or other East Coast ports like Boston or Baltimore don't really exist because two or three nights is not enough time to get to Canada, Bermuda or the Bahamas and back again.

Related: Caribbean vs. Bahamas cruises: Which itinerary will I like more?

The other key thing to understand is a weekend cruise will typically require some time off work or missed school. That's because most cruise ships board in the afternoon and depart in the early evening then return to port in the morning. You can't punch out of work at 5 p.m. on Friday, hop aboard a ship and return Sunday night.

The most likely scenario is that you'll arrive at your ship Friday afternoon for a three-night cruise, which will deliver you back to port on Monday morning. Depending on your working hours, you might need to take a half day off on Friday and arrive late to work on Monday. If you've got a flexible schedule or Fridays off — no problem. A few lines offer Thursday or Saturday departures for three-night cruises, but they're rare and would require more missed school or work.

Two-nighters are rare in the weekend cruise world but do exist. The key line for cruisers short on time is Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line (come late April, it will transition into Margaritaville at Sea ).

This line sails exclusively two-night cruises back and forth between West Palm Beach, Florida, and Freeport, Bahamas. Depending on the week, you could depart on a Friday, spend Saturday on Grand Bahama Island and come home Sunday. Or, leave Saturday, beach it up Sunday and return Monday morning.

Cruise lines sailing 2- and 3-night weekend cruises

You can count on Bahamas Paradise/Margaritaville at Sea for a quick weekend cruise fix, but that's a one-ship cruise line sailing an older, refurbished ship. From the major cruise lines, most of the big-ship lines offer a consistent schedule of three-night cruises. The higher-end, luxury lines rarely offer a sailing that short.

Carnival Cruise Line , Disney Cruise Line , MSC Cruises , Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean all offer three-night Bahamas cruises from Florida to Nassau and/or the line's private island. Departure ports include Miami, Port Canaveral and Fort Lauderdale.

Carnival, Disney and Royal Caribbean also take care of West Coast folks with three-night sailings from southern California (Long Beach, Los Angeles and San Diego) to Ensenada, Mexico.

You can count on those lines to offer entire seasons of short sailings. A few other lines, such as Holland America or Princess Cruises , will offer the occasional repositioning sailing along the Pacific Coast between San Francisco or Seattle and Vancouver. Sometimes those short cruises will fall over a weekend, allowing you that quick getaway without missing work.

Weekend cruise cost

Cheap weekend cruises are not hard to find; three-night sailings are among the most affordable cruises you can buy, both because you're not on board all that long, and because cruise lines often put older ships without the latest wow-factor attractions on these routes.

I'm currently seeing three-night Bahamas cruises from $129 per person, based on two people sharing an inside (windowless) cabin . That breaks down to $43/night for transportation, food, accommodations and entertainment for one person ($86/night for a couple). You'll have a hard time finding a hotel for that price, let alone lodging plus multiple meals.

The cheapest balcony cabin I found was just shy of $200 total for one person (under $65 per night), though fares in the $200s and $300s were more common.

Prices will vary depending on the cruise line, ship, sail date and how far in advance you're booking. If you're flexible on timing, look for the best weekend cruise deals and plan your getaway for those dates.

Three-night Mexico cruises at press time are starting at $149 per person ($50 per night), with balconies from $237 ($79 per night).

Note that Disney cruises to the Bahamas or Mexico are priced much higher than other cruise lines. Pricing for a three-night Disney Mexico cruise starts just shy of $1,000 per person for an inside cabin and a three-night Bahamas cruise from $625 per person. Still, it's cheaper than a weeklong Disney cruise.

Pros and cons of weekend cruises

Weekend cruises only work if you live within easy driving distance of a departure port. That way, you can still work half a day on Friday and simply arrive back to work a little late on Monday (assuming you're a 9-to-5-er).

If you need to fly or drive many hours to your departure port, you're looking at more of a long weekend with a day or two of time off from work required. However, if you have a flexible schedule or work off hours, a weekend cruise is definitely doable.

Weekend cruises have many benefits, the obvious one being they do not require missing much school or work. They're more affordable than a longer cruise, so they can be great for folks on a budget. You can tack them onto a longer vacation in Florida or California to combine two trips into one.

These short trips are also a great way to rack up points toward elite status on your favorite cruise line, especially if you book a suite that earns you extra points.

Related: Short cruises are cheaper, but are they right for you?

The drawbacks are the lack of choice in destination and cruise line. You won't be able to try every restaurant or attraction on board your cruise ship because you simply won't have enough time.

If you party hard, get sunburned or wear yourself out with lots of active shore excursions, you might come home exhausted instead of well rested and not ready to return to the office on Monday.

Weekend cruises also have a reputation for being party cruises. The last time I sailed on a three-night cruise, I met lots of ladies on bachelorette party getaways, and the nightclub, bars and karaoke were hopping each evening — more so than on longer cruises. If you're looking for a more sedate atmosphere, a longer cruise might be more your speed.

Bottom line

Weekend cruises are a fun way to get your ship fix without taking a full vacation or breaking the bank. They make more sense if you live within an hour or two of your cruise ship's departure port, but it can still be worth taking a long weekend for a three-day cruise even if you have to build in some travel time.

However, if you love cruising so much that you might have a hard time leaving a ship after just a few nights, you might want to skip the weekend sailing and save up for a weeklong cruise instead.

On dry land, board the Conch Train to see the island’s grand mansions and colorful houses, including the villa where Ernest Hemingway lived and wrote. Join a rum-tasting experience, and remember to try a slice of tangy Key lime pie.

Perfect Day at CocoCay is your chance to relax on a white sand beach, swim in a vast lagoon pool, or brave Daredevil’s Peak, one of the tallest waterslides in North America. Treat yourself to a luxurious beachfront cabana at Chill Island, complete with snacks and the services of a cabana attendant.

There’s a day at sea as you cruise back to Fort Lauderdale, with all the delicious choices that a Celebrity cruise offers. Sunbathe by the pool, enjoy a game of croquet at The Lawn Club, and toast the end of a delightful escape with an ice-cold cocktail at the Sunset Bar.

Relax on powdery beaches and treat yourself to a private cabana at Chill Island, with uninterrupted views of the aquamarine sea.

Cozumel is a small island perfect for scuba divers thanks to its transparent waters and pristine coral reef systems. If you’d rather stay on land, sit back and enjoy a day on one of Cozumel’s gorgeous beaches , including Playa Palancar or El Cielo, which lives up to its heavenly name.

2-Night Cruises From NYC

by Kate Barber

Published on 1 Jan 2021

Taking a short cruise from New York City is a great way to rejuvenate and relax from the stresses of city life. Carnival is the only cruise line that offers a two-night cruise departing from New York. It also offers a four-night cruise that stops at Saint John, New Brunswick. Norwegian Cruise Line offers a one-night getaway. No matter which cruise you choose, all the ships offer the amenities you would expect from a cruise of greater duration.

Carnival Cruise to Nowhere

The Carnival Miracle sails on two-night cruises to nowhere from New York City. The ship leaves New York at 5 p.m. Thursday and returns at 8 a.m. Saturday. Guests can explore the Miracle's supper club, four pools, spa and state-of-the-art fitness area. A children's area arranges arts and crafts projects for kids. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, although a formal dinner offered both nights.

Norwegian Cruise to Nowhere

Norwegian Cruise Line offers a one-night dinner and dancing cruise, departing from New York at 4 p.m. and returning at 8 a.m. the next day. Besides dinner and dancing, a spa and casino also are available.

Carnival 4-Night Cruise

Carnival offers a four-night cruise departing from New York at 5 p.m. Thursday and returning at 8 a.m. Monday. The itinerary involves a day and a half at sea before stopping at Saint John, New Brunswick. Arriving at 8 a.m., passengers can participate in shore excursions such as coastal photography, a lobster cookout, coastal kayaking, an Irving Nature Park tour, a Saint John River cruise and a guided tour of the city of Saint John.

Short vs. long cruises: Which one is right for you? Here's how they compare.

Whether you want a weekend getaway or to max out your vacation days, there’s a cruise for that.

Cruise lines offer itineraries ranging from a few days to monthslong . But there are more differences between short and long sailings than just the amount of time guests spend on board. The length of a cruise can help dictate the types of ports passengers visit, the kind of ship they’re sailing on and even the general vibe on board.

“It's important to walk our guests through and for cruisers to think about, what's the experience that they're trying to have,” said Jamie Margolis, owner of Moms at Sea Travel, a Dream Vacations franchise. “So, we try to tease out that information, like, ‘What's your vacation style?’ ”

What can guests expect from short cruises?

Cruises can be divided into those shorter or longer than a week, according to Jared Feldman, owner of travel agency Jafeldma Travel. “So, anything less than that is really considered a short cruise,” he said.

Those around three nights long are often aimed at new-to-cruise guests “who aren’t really ready to commit to seven days but really want to quote-unquote test the waters, let's say – to see if cruising is right for them,” he added.

Those sailings typically feature just one port and a sea day and often visit tried-and-true cruise destinations. Travelers sailing from South Florida ports like Miami and Fort Lauderdale will likely visit Nassau in the Bahamas or one of many cruise line private islands , for example. While those sailing from Galveston, Texas, can expect to stop in Cozumel.

Margolis called three-and-four-night voyages a “great intro to cruising,” albeit with more limited itinerary choices. “Is their dream to go to Saint Kitts? They're probably not going to find that on a short sailing,” she said.

Shorter cruises may also lend themselves more to a party atmosphere and be less kid-friendly. But Margolis noted that’s not unique to cruising. “I mean, it's the nature of travel that short weekends can be celebratory,” she said.

And with diverse onboard offerings – from ship-within-a-ship concepts to kids clubs – passengers can often carve out their own experience.

Cruise lines have new offerings in that shorter category. Celebrity Cruises is launching its first regular weekend itineraries in the Caribbean this month, and Royal Caribbean International’s Utopia of the Seas will offer three-and-four-night sailings when it debuts in July.

What can guests expect from long cruises?

Feldman said any sailing over seven days could be considered a “longer cruise.” Those can range from around 10 days to more than six months. Royal Caribbean is operating a nine-month world cruise to more than 60 countries.

While short cruises “can feel like a bit of a whirlwind,” according to Margolis, longer itineraries offer more time to explore a greater variety of ports. They may feature less-visited destinations such as Aruba and Curaçao and often take place on smaller, older vessels (though ships are refurbished regularly).

That’s partly due to the limitations in places they stop. “Some of the ports … cannot really accommodate this large ship hardware,” Feldman said. “So, you need a smaller-size ship to navigate in and out of these ports.”

The onboard demographic also tends to skew older on those cruises since retired passengers typically have more free time, and travelers with kids are often beholden to school schedules.

If you want a middle ground, though, Margolis said a seven-night cruise “really takes you through what I think is, like, the whole cruise cycle.”

"You get on, you get acclimated, you find all the different amenities, and then you're able to … truly relax, disconnect, unwind,” she said. ‘And then you know, midweek, you start getting your luggage tags, and you go through that mental process of accepting that you're going to have to get off in a couple of days and go back to work.”

At that length, it's also easier to tack on a bit of extra time on the front or back end of the sailing to explore on their own, Feldman added.

Are short or long sailings cheaper?

Because short sailings frequently take place on larger ships, they are “very attractively priced” to help fill the cabins. But that doesn’t mean they’ll always be cheaper than a longer cruise.

A cruise with more stops will have higher port fees, but passengers may book longer itineraries further out and get better fares.

Looking for cheap cruises?: Here's what to know know about finding deals.

“Most times, you're not going to book a three-to-four-night sailing 12 to 18 months in advance,” said Feldman. “You're going to book that much closer in.”

The ship’s age also plays a role in how it’s priced, with shiny new vessels commanding higher rates . “So, there's a lot of different variables in play that kind of dictate where you're going to come out ahead or how much your cruise is ultimately going to cost based on those factors,” said Feldman.

The 7 Most Romantic Cruises for Couples to Take in 2024

Posted: November 8, 2023 | Last updated: November 8, 2023

Planning the ultimate couple’s getaway? As much as we love exploring Napa , Palm Beach , and the Hudson Valley , there’s something to be said about investing in an international vacation. Before shelling out for a boutique hotel, though, consider booking a cruise that can be just as romantic (yes, really). We're not talking about old-school cruises with cramped rooms, mediocre buffets, BINGO nights and overcrowded pool decks. These luxury cruises are here to blow your mind with amenities such as private butler service, world-class spas, delicious cuisine (hello, 24/7 complimentary caviar!) and palatial cabins with expansive ocean views, private jacuzzis and more.

Whether your idea of the perfect vacation is a European river adventure, an adults-only South Pacific cruise, or a party-all-night Caribbean rendezvous, there’s a cruise for you. To prove it, we rounded up the seven best cruises for couples. Check out these romantic options, below.

Crystal Cruises

If you’re looking to book a beautiful vacation on and off the ship, Crystal Cruises is worth considering. In addition to well-appointed palatial suites and a stunning spa (complete with massages, facials, naturopathic healing, and gentleman’s grooming services), Crystal Cruises is a foodie’s paradise. With nine distinct culinary options ranging from American and Italian to Japanese and Peruvian food, there’s something for everyone.

When booking a Crystal Cruise for your couple’s getaway, go all out with a Veranda or Penthouse suite. That way, you’ll have plenty of space, as well as the opportunity to take in the open seas from your very own balcony. If you’re toying with the idea of taking a sabbatical and making the absolute most of it, Crystal Cruises does have a World Cruise scheduled to set sail in 2025. The 123-night cruise will explore 62 destinations and 31 countries for what’s sure to be the trip of a lifetime.

Explore Crystal Cruises

Virgin Voyages

If your idea of the perfect couple’s vacation is one without kids, Virgin Voyages is the way to go. With destinations in the Caribbean, Europe, and the South Pacific—just to name a few—Virgin Voyages offers unforgettable oceanic excursions via its four-ship fleet.

For couples in the U.S., consider hopping about The Scarlet Lady, a large-scale ocean liner with a 2,762 sailor capacity. As the name suggests, The Scarlet Lady is a ship with decor and experiences drenched in sultry red. When you set sail on The Scarlet Lady (or any Virgin Voyages ship), you can anticipate all-inclusive cuisine, non-alcoholic beverages, group workouts, and Wi-Fi. While the beverage package is an additional cost, the adults-only landscape makes it worth it.

As for the cabins, they’re all chic but the Sea Terrace or Rockstar Quarters are the way to go for a truly unforgettable couple’s escape. If you go with the latter, you’ll even have your own private terrace jacuzzi.

Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours

While ocean cruises are most common, Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours makes a case for river excursions, too. That said, if you and your partner love river life and taking in the city shores, exploring new cities and towns as you go, you’ll fall head over heels for Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours.

In addition to dozens of oceanic adventures, the cruise line offers cruise explorations of nine of the world’s most iconic rivers, including the Seine, Rhine, Mekong, and Bordeaux rivers. If you ask us, it doesn’t get much better than the Scenic Gem, which winds up and down the Seine over the course of eight days and features stops in Paris, Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Normandy.

One thing to note: Since this river cruise is all about luxurious sleep set-ups, delicious food, and awe-inspiring excursions, there aren’t as many wellness and leisure amenities aboard the ship (though, there is a small gym). That said, the all-inclusive cruise line offers butler service for all suites to boot, so if your goal is to make your partner feel pampered, it’s worth looking into.

Explore Scenic Luxury Cruises and Tours

Viking Cruises

If you love the idea of cruising a river with your partner but are hoping for a lengthier aquatic adventure with striking cabins, Viking Cruises is the way to go. Although the cruise line offers a variety of oceanic cruises, the river excursions are what it’s known for. To make the most of the experience, we suggest going all out with a Veranda or Explorer Suite (both of which have balconies for you and your beloved to enjoy) for the Grand European Tour , which explores 13 cities and four countries across 15 days, with the option to personalize the experience with three pre-cruise and four post-cruise overnights.

Best of all, the trip comes with 12 guided tours, so you’ll be immersed in the culture of each of the cities you visit. (FYI: If you’re looking for a domestic cruise, Viking also has a Mississippi cruise which explores the river for eight to 22 days, depending on which option you book.)

Explore Viking Cruises

Silversea is dubbed the “crown jewel” of the Royal Caribbean Group. The all-inclusive cruise line self-proclaimed the label but with an offering so vast, we’d say it has earned it, too. Aboard Silversea ships, guests can enjoy around-the-clock gourmet dining, scrumptious craft cocktails and bubbly Champagne, butler service, and 24/7 access to complimentary caviar.

Suffice to say, it’s a couple’s paradise. All you have to do is pick which destination and duration aligns best with your dream vacation vision. As for the ship, the Silver Dawn is a popular pick, especially with its all-new, ultra-chic spa, OTIVM. Whatever you do, when booking, consider upgrading to a Superior or Deluxe Veranda Suite to make the most of your time on the water.

Explore Silversea Cruises

Royal Caribbean

Icon of the Seas is one of the latest ships to join Royal Caribbean’s fleet and while it still offers plenty of family-friendly, price-conscious staterooms, the vessel is a dream for vivid voyagers with a passion for great food, entertaining nightlife, and tranquil spa experiences. Complete with a sports and arcade bar, karaoke bar, a casino, and an English pub, the Icon of the Seas has plenty to offer night owl couples looking to explore the Caribbean.

Of course, it also has an impressive seven pools, not to mention the largest waterpark at sea. While you might think that that means kids will be everywhere you look, the ship actually has an area dedicated for families, as well as adult-only aqua escapes. As for the cabins, they’re spacious, well-lit, and equipped with floor-to-ceiling views of the ocean (if you book an ocean-view room). If you ask us, though, the ultimate couple’s vacation calls for upgrading to a Sunset Corner Suite.

Explore Royal Caribbean Icon of the Seas

Windstar Cruises

Whether you’re in search of peaceful tranquility, unbelievable gastronomic delights, invigorating on-shore excursions, or merely a more intimate small-scale cruise experience, Windstar Cruises is worth considering. The six-ship fleet features smaller capacities, each carrying no more than a few hundred guests. For the most intimate experience, you’ll want to book the Wind Star or Wind Spirit, which both carry no more than 148 guests.

Just keep in mind, since these are smaller ships, there aren’t balcony rooms—just ocean view. Still, with destinations in Asia, Australia and New Zealand, Canada and New England, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, and more, the cultural experiences, and the James Beard-partnered culinary program will all but make up for it.

25 Places to Visit in Moscow you Can’t Miss

25 Places to Visit in Moscow

Do you know what the most populous city in Europe is? Most people wouldn’t guess that it is actually Moscow. There are approximately 13 million people in the Moscow metro area, which amounts to approximately 1/10th of all Russians.

This former capitol of the Soviet Union is still the political and financial center of Russia. Just because it is a current business and government city, in no way means that it is boring and not worth a visit. Assuming the political tensions get solved, Moscow is a fascinating city you need to visit.

While lots of people can’t explain the nuances of Russian architecture, most can spot and appreciate it immediately. One of the best ways to see the historic sites is by taking a boat tour down the Moskva River that meanders through the city.

Overall, navigating the city isn’t difficult as there is phenomenal and cheap public transportation (roughly 30 rubles/35 cents per ride). You can also use a cheap Uber on the three ring roads that circle the city at various distances from the center.

Still wondering why you should visit this historic masterpiece of a city? Read on to see the top 25 things you need to see in Moscow.

The House with Animals

This former church is famous for the terracotta reliefs of animals that adorn the front of the building. It is a favorite of locals, and famous around the world. It was built in approximately 1900.

Resurrection Gate or Iberian Gate and Chapel

The Resurrection Gate is now one of the most common ways to enter Red Square. This gate is also the only standing part of the wall that was the entrance to to Kitai-Gorod, or Moscow’s historic central business district.

St. Basils Cathedral

Probably the most famous of the Red Square attractions is St. Basil’s Cathedral. I don’t know if the legend is true or not, but supposedly Tsar Ivan IV poked the eyes of the architect out after completing it so nothing as pretty could be made again. What an awful boss!

The State Historical Museum

If you are like me then you can’t help but find all the twists and turns of Russian history fascinating. The State Historical Museum at Red Square is a fantastic place to learn and study the Russian Relics.

Book your tour: Kremlin, Red Square, and Metro Tour with Pick-Up

Moscow River Cruise

The Moskva River cuts directly through the heart of Moscow. Want to see it all but rest your feet? One of the best things to do in Moscow at night is float along on a dinner cruise . The lights of the city are so beautiful. Of course, dinner in included.

Book your tour: Night lights Moscow Cruise (with Dinner option)

Museum of Soviet Arcade Games

This is one of the most unique things to do in Moscow. If you know that many American video games paint the Russians as the bad guys, then it’s probably not surprising to learn that you can find an entirely different variety of video games in Russia. This isn’t a recent phenomenon; even historically the video games were different. If you are a video game buff then this stop is for you!

Main Church of the Armed Forces in Park Patriot near Kubinka

This church attempts to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ as well as Russian military leader. Yes, it’s an awkward amalgamation. It caused quite a controversy when there were plans to create murals of Vladimir Putin and Joseph Stalin to go along with the ones of Jesus Christ (those plans were scrapped).

Bunker 42 (Cold War Museum)

Tunnel at Bunker-42, anti-nuclear underground facility built in 1956 as command post of strategic nuclear forces of Soviet Union.

Americans weren’t the only ones afraid during the Cold War! You can now discover the most secret and secure Bunker of the USSR, Bunker 42. Also known as the Cold War Museum . This former military communication center is now a museum. I recommend this tour that will take you on a private two hour visit of Bunker 42.

If you aren’t interested in a guided tour you can book your tickets in advance here.

Tank Excursion and Bazooka Shooting in Moscow

For real – you can book this tour and actually ride in a tank and shoot off military grade weapons. While that’s not my cup of tea, I know tons of guys would absolutely love to shoot a bazooka!

Book your tour here .

Dormition Cathedral

This is another Russian Orthodox cathedral that is located inside the Moscow Kremlin. It is another famous landmark of Moscow. The inside is decorated with ancient frescoes.

The Cathedral of the icon of the Mother of God “Sign”

This cathedral is located in Zaryadye Park (adjacent to Red Square). It is also on the Moskva River. The Cathedral of the icon of the Mother of God “Sign” previously was a monastery.

Komsomolskaya Metro station 

So many of the metro stations are breathtaking works of art. The idea was to create something beautiful that all the regular people could enjoy, or if you are more cynical you could say it was to attempt to show off how well they were doing.

Book your tour: Moscow: Small Group Metro Tour

The Round houses at Dovzhenko Stree t

The Round houses at Dovzhenko Street look super cool and futuristic, except like many communist projects didn’t actually work that well. They were supposed to be something new and different from the standard “Soviet Blocks.”

There are a number of problems with this design. Supposedly the acoustics are awful making the apartments perpetually noisy. The inner circle becomes a wind chamber even when it’s not that windy. My favorite weakness is that the trapezoid shape of apartments is hard to decorate and even harder to do maintenance on.

Izmailovo District and Izmailovo Kremlin

This area has to be one of the coolest places to visit in Moscow. It features a park in the middle of Moscow that is over 3x the size of New York City’s Central Park. The Kremlin in Izmailovo is a complex located in the Eastern Administrative District of Moscow that is known as the center of culture and entertainment. The wooden buildings are in Russian architecture of the XVI-XVII centuries (not original).

Izmailovo Kremlin on Google Maps .

Tretyakov Gallery

For those that appreciate fine art this is where you have to go. The State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow Russia is the best collection of Russian fine art in the world. The museum previously hosted worldwide chess tournaments (I can’t help be think of the Queen’s Gambit).

Book your tickets in advance here. Tickets cost about $13 per person.

Kolomenskoe Estate

This reconstruction of a former royal estate is just a few miles southeast of the Moscow city center. Supposedly really detailed historical plans survived, so the reconstruction and current museum is incredibly authentic. It was completed in 2010.

Old buildings of Arbat

Arbat is an old street, and was previously the “nicest place to live in Moscow. Even though it fell into disrepair, it’s location, it’s historical buildings, and the fact that it is a pedestrian street are quickly making it a top place to live again.

The Melnikov House

Located on Arbat street, the Famous house of architect Melnikov designed this house (and Lenin’s sarcophagus). Melnikov designed it at a time when private ownership was outlawed, but got around this restriction by saying it was an experimental design to maximize space. Even though others weren’t built, he was able to keep it.

The New Maiden Convent

The New Maiden Convent, built was built to resemble a mini-Kremlin. It stands out to me because this “convent” was the place where women who were no longer welcome in the royal court were banished to.

Monument to the Conquerors of Space at the Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics in the Cosmopark

The Americans may have made it to the moon first, but the Russian cosmonauts were first in a number of other achievements. This gigantic obelisk pays homage to their accomplishments.

Tsaritsyno Museum Reserve

This royal estate was founded by Catherine the Great. She was Russia’s longest serving female leader. It is now a gorgeous museum!

Stalinist Skyscraper tour

This group of seven skyscrapers are called the Seven Sisters. They were all made in the Stalinist style, and one was previously the tallest building in Europe. If you want to tour them all while learning about their history book here .

Cathedral of Christ the Savior

It’s ironic that a country that was so anti-religion for so long has so many great churches. The Cathedral for Christ the Savior was made to thank Jesus for saving Russia. If you are interested in visiting this and so many other cathedrals in Moscow I recommend this tour that will take you to The Cathedral of Christ the Savior many other popular churches in Moscow.

Cathedral of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God

This church on Red Square is reconstruction of what was previously there but ordered to be destroy by Joseph Stalin. It is a travesty thinking of all the beautiful things that Stalin destroyed to attempt to implement his vision.

Zaryade Park

Zaryadye Park is one of the main tourist attractions in Moscow. It is located directly next to the Kremlin, and offers truly amazing views. It is also famous for its “floating bridge” and the fact that there are so many unique features underneath it.

Church of Sign of Blessed Virgin in Dubrovitsy Znamenskaya

The Church of the Theotokos of the Sign (Dubrovitsy), or The Church of the Holy Sign of the Mother of God is located in a village amed Dubrovitsy about 20 miles south of Moscow. It is another Russian Orthodox church, but what makes this one unique is that we aren’t 100% sure who made it, or why is has a style that is completely different than other churches of the time.

The Church of Nicholas The Wonderworker

I love the unique style of the Russian Orthodox churches in Moscow. The golden onion domes stand out across the globe. This church dates back to 1657, though it has been partially destroyed a few times since then.

Moscow University

Moscow University is one of the Seven Sisters that are the “Stalin Skyscrapers.” Previously it was the tallest building in Europe. Though it has lost that title, it is still the tallest “educational building” in the world.

So what do you think? Next trip to Moscow?

No. 1 Arkansas Razorbacks Cruise to Friday Night Win Over Ole Miss Rebels

The Ole Miss Rebels lost their third straight series on Friday night, despite an impressive performance from third baseman Andrew Fischer.

• Author: Ben King

In this story:

The Ole Miss Rebels fell 8-3 in game two of their weekend series versus the No. 1 Arkansas Razorbacks on Friday night and have now lost their third straight SEC series. Ole Miss has not picked up a conference victory since March 23, and that streak could continue if the Rebels are unable to avoid a sweep by Arkansas this weekend.

The Rebels got on the board fast in the top of the first inning thanks to a solo shot into left field from third baseman Andrew Fischer, but the lead was short-lived, as the Razorbacks scored four runs in the bottom half to take the lead. Fischer was doing everything in his power to keep Ole Miss in this game, as he mashed his 13th home run of the season in the top of the third to cut down Arkansas’ lead to one run.

The rest of the Ole Miss lineup struggled to get anything going at the plate, however, while the Razorbacks piled on four more runs to seal the series. Fischer's night ended with two hits, two home runs, and three RBIs in four at-bats.

Fischer’s roommate, sophomore LHP Liam Doyle, started on the mound for the Rebels on Friday night and allowed five runs on four hits while walking four batters in his ninth appearance of 2024.

Doyle was relieved by a combination of three Ole Miss relievers: Mitch Murrell (2.1 IP), Wes Mendes (1.0 IP), and Mason Morris (1.1 IP). In total, the Rebels’ bullpen allowed three runs and four walks.

Ole Miss is set to take on Arkansas in game three of their weekend series on Saturday afternoon, and the Rebels will be playing to avoid their second-straight sweep. First pitch is set for 2 p.m. CT in Fayetteville and the game will be televised on SEC Network.

We managed to stretch our $12,000 European vacation budget to cover first-class plane tickets and a 12-night cruise. Here's how.

• Allie Hubers, a freelance travel writer, spent $20,000 on cruises in 2022.
• A two-week trip to Europe with her husband, which cost $12,000, was the most expensive one.

This as-told-to story is based on a conversation with Allie Hubers , a 29-year-old freelance travel writer. It's been edited for length and clarity. Business Insider verified Hubers' expenses.

My husband Luke and I met in college at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota during our sophomore year. We have traveled together over the past 10 years, including trips to Europe , Asia, and Africa, and hopped on cruises around countries like Morocco, Thailand, Malaysia, Croatia, and Italy.

I'm a freelance travel writer, and Luke is a pilot with the US Air Force. He's been flying since he was 16. We both have high levels of wanderlust and traveling together is how we keep our marriage strong.

We allocate a budget to travel every month and our favorite way to travel is cruising . In 2022, we spent a total of $20,000 on cruises. The most expensive trip we went on was a 12-night cruise around Europe .

At the time, Luke had just returned from a months-long deployment, so we wanted to spend some quality time together. We had a $12,000 budget, which included the cruise , first-class airfare, tickets to an Ed Sheeran concert, and hotel stays. We had been saving for this trip for years. Here is a a breakdown of our budget.

We also got tickets for Imagine Dragons at the last minute, and those tickets were $244.

Cost of hotel stays: $621

During our trip, we stayed in four hotels. We spent two nights at The Edition, a five-star hotel near Soho in London . While a night's stay at The Edition costs around $670, we used 60,000 Marriott points each night and didn't have to pay cash.

We also spent a night at The Montcalm East Autograph in London for $350 and our last night at the Renaissance London Heathrow for $111 before flying back to the US.

To attend Ed Sheeran's concert, we spent a night at Newcastle Marriott Hotel Metrocenter, which cost $160. When we returned to London, we spent a night at Bankside Autograph Collection, a luxury hotel near the River Thames. A night's stay there costs around $600, but we used 45,000 Marriott points and redeemed our stay for free.

Cost of the 12-night cruise: $2,800

The 12-night cruise on Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas was $2,800 for the two of us. We initially booked an interior cabin , the cheapest room category, and ended up getting upgraded to an obstructed balcony room a few days before sailing. The upgrade ended up being free.

Stops along the cruise included Spain's Canary Islands, including Tenerife, and Lisbon in Portugal. We spent our days exploring new countries, having seaside cocktails, and reconnecting after so much time apart.

Cost of food and transportation: $2,055

We went on a three-night dining package for $240. On board the cruise, we purchased two specialty dining meals and on Chef's Table experience for $574. In total, including what we spent on food in London, we spent around $1,170 on dining out, coffee, and drinks.

Transportation took a big chunk of our budget. Ubers, taxis, and scooters cost a total of $528. We rented a car to get us to and from the concert venue for $186, with gas costing around $40. We also took the train to get around, and that amounted to $131.

Miscellaneous costs: $2,000

We spent $639 on souvenirs, gifts, and shopping . On board the cruise, excursions weren't free, so it cost us $214 for two excursions in the Canary Islands. Other expenses included internet on the cruise for $374 and roaming with T-Mobile for $103.

We also flew my sister to Florida to watch the dogs and provided her with a meal service for two weeks. That cost a total of $670.

There was no skimping or budgeting for this trip. We had no regrets about the money we spent on this cruise vacation.

UConn defeats Alabama in Final Four to face Purdue in NCAA championship: Highlights

No. 1 seeds UConn and Purdue will square off in the NCAA Tournament men’s basketball championship game Monday night in Phoenix.

The Huskies and Boilermakers defeated No. 4 seed Alabama and No. 11 seed N.C. State, respectively, on Saturday in the Final Four.

UConn, the defending national champions, will look to become the first program since Florida in 2007 to win back-to-back titles. The Huskies have reached the championship five previous times, winning every matchup.

Purdue has not won an NCAA Tournament.

UConn opened as a 5.5 point favorite over Purdue on Monday night, according to DraftKings. The game total is set at 146.5.

UConn, the betting favorites entering the tournament, outlasted Alabama on Saturday thanks to a dominant performance down the stretch. The game was tied at 56 points each with 12:04 remaining before Dan Hurley’s squad took over. All five UConn starters scored in double figures, led by Stephon Castle’s 21 points.

Purdue cruised past N.C. State 63-50 after another big game from All-American center Zach Edey. The 7-foot-4 Canadian finished with 20 points and 12 rebounds as the Boilermakers dominated on the inside. Purdue outrebounded its opponent 41-28 and also added 10 3-pointers.

The Boilermakers pulled away late in the second half, going on a 14-1 run with a little over four minutes remaining.

The NCAA men’s basketball championship game will take place Monday at 9:20 p.m. ET. 

There's more where that came from

Rebecca Cohen

If you're craving more college hoops, you're in luck.

The women's NCAA championship game is tomorrow at 3 p.m. ET.

Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes will face the undefeated South Carolina Gamecocks at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland.

And the men's championship will follow on Monday.

Women’s college basketball final expected to set new viewership records amid Caitlin Clark phenomenon

Tomorrow's NCAA Women’s Basketball National Championship is set to smash viewership records as star players and greater TV coverage drive more fans than ever to the sport.

The matchup between Iowa and South Carolina, both No. 1 seeds, is slated for 3 p.m. Sunday at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland.

Friday night’s matchup between Iowa and No. 3 seed UConn was the  most-watched women’s college basketball game  ever, and broke ESPN’s record as the most-watched basketball game in the network’s history, college or pro, with 14.2 million viewers and a peak of 17 million.

Read the full story here.

Sears and Castle lead in scoring

Mark Sears with the Crimson Tide led the game with the most points overall: 24.

And Stephon Castle led UConn with 21 points.

The Huskies cover the spread

Brian Hamilton, NBC Sports

UConn was given a game by Alabama, but the Huskies still covered the gametime spread of 11.5 points, winning 86-72.

The game total under 160.5 narrowly cashes as well.

UConn celebrates victory over Alabama

Tune in to NBC Sports’ Bet the Edge for championship preview

Jay Croucher and Drew Dinsick will preview the national championship Monday on NBC Sports’ Bet the Edge at 6 a.m. ET  right here  or wherever you get your podcasts.

UConn favored to win it all

The National Championship is set. The top seeds in the entire tournament will meet Monday night in Glendale, Arizona.

DraftKings has posted UConn as a 5.5 point favorite over Purdue with the game total set at 146.5.

Purdue will be gunning for its first national championship while UConn will be going for their sixth. The Huskies are 5-0 in national championship games.

UConn proves its Final Four chops once again

Asher Feldman

UConn improves to 6-1 in seven all time appearances in the Final Four. Despite the game's back-and-forth feeling, tonight’s victory ends up as UConn’s largest Final Four victory in program history by point spread, 14. That’s one point larger than the Huskies Final Four victory last year over Miami (72-59). 

UConn has never lost a national championship game, and faces off against Purdue on Monday for a chance at the program’s sixth title, all since 1999.

UConn pulls off the win, 86-72

The Huskies are headed to the championship game, making a run for back-to-back trophies.

They’ll face Purdue in a battle of the one-seeds on Monday night.

Tonight's win means UConn is now 6-1 all time in Final Four games. In the five other times they've made it to the championship, they've won every time.

Crimson Tide can't keep up with Huskies on the boards

In the midst of an already prolonged offensive slump, Alabama's attack has been further hampered by the Crimson Tide’s second-half struggles in the rebounding battle. 

Other than forward Grant Nelson’s admirable efforts, Alabama has seemingly been out-jumped for every 50-50 ball on both the offensive and defensive boards. Nelson has 12 rebounds alone — as part of a double-double — but the rest of Alabama has just 14 boards, and UConn is out-rebounding the Crimson Tide 35-26 with four minutes left in the second half.

Trans athletes should be allowed to play women’s sports, South Carolina coach Dawn Staley says

Rudy Chinchilla

Transgender athletes should be allowed to compete in women’s sports, South Carolina women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley said ahead of her team’s NCAA Tournament championship game.

Staley made the comments during a news conference Saturday when asked by OutKick reporter Dan Zaksheske whether she believes “biological males” should be “included” in women’s sports.

“I’m on the opinion of if you’re a woman you should play,” Staley said. “If you consider yourself a woman and you want to play sports, or vice versa, you should be able to play. That’s my opinion.”

Staley was speaking to reporters ahead of South Carolina’s championship matchup against Iowa on Sunday.

Iowa coach Lisa Bluder declined to answer the same question later on.

Bama battles for the lead, but UConn prevails

Bama scratched and clawed to get even, and then gave up 8 points straight. The Huskies lead 64-56 with 10:30 to play.

UConn is now favored by 9.5 points and the game total sits at 164.5 points.

Grant Nelson coming up big for Alabama

Greg Rosenstein

Alabama forward Grant Nelson is starting to enter takeover mode, scoring Alabama’s last six points.

He’s had a couple breakout games in the NCAA Tournament, most notably 24 in an upset of No. 1 North Carolina, and will be needed down the stretch for Alabama to advance on Saturday night.

Huskies, Crimson Tide trade 7-0 runs

Out of the halftime break we’ve seen momentum chasing 7-0 runs from both teams.

Alabama used its 7-0 sprint to get as close as one point shy of UConn, at 48-47, including using its most impactful weapons tonight: the three-point shot.

But the Huskies’ anxiety was short-lived. UConn went on its own 7-0 run to extend its advantage to its current size, 55-47, accentuated by a Stephon Castle dunk. 

Castle and Sears locked in as leading scorers

Freshman Stephon Castle leads all scorers with 13 for the Huskies, and Mark Sears leads the Tide with 11 points.

The first half spread was 6.5, so those holding Alabama tickets getting the points after 20 minutes cashed.

The spread is now UConn laying 9.5 points with the game total sitting at 168.5 points.

Iowa-UConn Final Four matchup draws 14.2 million viewers, most in women’s college basketball history

Iowa’s  71-69 win  against UConn in Friday’s NCAA Final Four game drew 14.2 million viewers, the most in women’s college basketball history, according to ESPN.

The matchup produced the highest audience for a basketball game — college or professional — and the second-best non-football telecast ever on the network.

Friday’s figure is higher than every World Series and NBA Finals game last year. ESPN said the game peaked at 17 million viewers.

Commentator Ian Eagle feeling punny tonight

As Alabama's Mark Sears shines on the floor, Ian Eagle has been similarly shining court side.

After sinking some threes, the commentator declared, "Sears is showing off the full catalog" and later said the guard was "willing to go to the tower," referring to the Sears Tower in Chicago.

UConn leads heading into the locker room at the half

It hasn't been an easy feat for the Huskies, though, who have been battling against the Alabama Crimson Tide on the court.

The score sits at 44-40 with just 20 minutes separating one of these two teams and the national championship game.

Huskies struggling from beyond the arc

As the broadcast has mentioned, UConn has had a tough time from three-point range so far this evening. The Huskies have hit just five of 15 attempts from deep, or 33%.

For a team as vaunted as UConn for its offensive attack that might seem out of character. But the Huskies have struggled all year from beyond the arc. 

In fact, UConn shot just 36% from out there during the season, 77th in the country. For comparison, Alabama was 24th-best in the nation in 3-point efficiency, and is shooting 70% from deep so far tonight. 

Pace is end-to-end as UConn and Bama battle in second semifinal

Unlike the first semifinal tonight, the pace is end-to-end in this game with UConn leading 35-31 with 3:12 remaining in the first half. The Huskies are now favored by 8.5 points and the game total is 164.5 points.

UConn, Alabama going shot-for-shot in first half

Alabama and UConn are knotted up at 28 with 7:30 left to go in the first half. The back-and-forth pace of this game is reminiscent of last weekend’s UConn-Illinois Elite Eight showdown, where the teams were tied up at 23 with less than two minutes left in the first half. 

That was, however, the last time UConn felt much pressure against the Illini, scoring five unanswered to close the first and exploding out of the gate in the second half, scoring 25 more unanswered to close the door on Illinois and clinch its spot in tonight’s Final Four. 

Clingan dunks against Alabama

After trailing for a whopping 2:50, UConn reclaimed the lead on a dunk from Donovan Clingan. The Huskies are now favored by 8.5 points. The game total remains 168.5 points.

Alabama leading in first half

With 10:30 remaining in the first half, Alabama leads UConn by 3.

Before tonight's game, the Huskies had trailed for just 29 seconds in the entire NCAA Tournament.

The Spread still sees UConn favored, but by only 5.5 points. The game total is now 168.5 points.

How UConn and Alabama got to the Final Four

It was no easy feat to make it to the Final Four tonight.

No. 1 UConn, who earned the number one overall seed, beat Stetson in the first round, Northwestern in the second round, San Diego State University in the Sweet Sixteen and Illinois in the Elite Eight to earn their spot in the Final Four. Last year, UConn faced SDSU in the championship and won 76-59.

No. 4 Alabama knocked out Charleston in the first round, Grand Canyon in the second round, UNC in the Sweet Sixteen and Clemson in the Elite Eight to make it to the Final Four for the first time ever.

Offense not exactly in short supply among UConn, Alabama

The point-heavy start to this second Final Four game is no surprise: Alabama and UConn are the top two teams in the country in offensive efficiency, according to Ken Pomeroy's ubiquitous college basketball rating system .

In other words, the Huskies and Crimson Tide get buckets, and in large quantities.

The third-best? Waiting for the winner of this game — the Zach Edey-led Boilermakers of Purdue.

Alabama makes its first Final Four debut

Phil Helsel

Alabama is making its debut in one of college basketball's most-watched games tonight, in a field in which all the other teams have been there three times or more.

In its first Final Four, the Crimson Tide are taking on the UConn Huskies, who are making their seventh Final Four appearance. The Huskies' first was in 1999.

UConn has gone on to win the championship five times, including last year when they beat San Diego State.

Alabama is on the board first

The Crimson Tide scored the first points in the last Final Four game of the weekend, with Grant Nelson starting off strong with a three.

UConn quickly followed suit, tying up the game.

Dalzell: Betting on a couple of bigs in the Final Four

Vaughn Dalzell, NBC Sports

I'm already holding a Futures Ticket on UConn (-105) to win the national championship.

In looking for value heading into the Final Four, the NBC Sports Betting bet on UConn's Donovan Clingan (+340) to be named the Final Four’s Most Outstanding Player. That value is long gone but he still sees value on Clingan where it sits currently (+180).

Two-time National Player of the Year Zach Edey (+220) is also worth a look in that market.  

Read the full story from NBC Sports.

UConn heavily favored against Alabama

Dennis Romero

Despite its promise of a battle royale between future pros playing for powerhouse squads, March Madness can still unleash games seen by some basketball observers as mismatches.

That's the case today, when UConn takes on Alabama. The defending champions from Storrs, Connecticut, are heavily favored against the Crimson Tide.

The Huskies (-600) are 10.5 point favorites over the Tide (+425) with the Game Total a robust 160.5 points.

The team's record appears to support such a wide spread. Since the 2022-23 season, the team has won 13 consecutive NCAA tournament games with a margin of 10 points or greater.

In February, UConn became the season's first unanimous No. 1 in the Associated Press men’s college basketball poll.

The team obliterated a rising San Diego State last year (76-59) to take the men's Big Dance championship, and did so again in the Sweet 16 this month (82-52) to eventually advance to the penultimate matchup next weekend.

UConn posted a relatively easy win against Illinois last week, 77-52.

Alabama is a team with momentum, reaching only its second Elite Eight matchup when it squeaked by top-seeded North Carolina 89-87 before besting Clemson 89-82 in Los Angeles to achieve its first Final Four appearance.

The team earned its way with star guard Mark Sears, holder of the team record for scoring in a single season, and his teammates, known to unleash a barrage of 3-pointers — 16 in all against Clemson.

Purdue walking familiar path after a historic defeat one year ago

Just one year after crashing out of the NCAA tournament in notable fashion — by losing to No. 16 seed Fairleigh Dickinson in the opening round — Purdue is on its way to the national championship game.

The Boilermakers were just the second-ever No. 1 seed to ever fall to a 16, but perhaps that should've been a sign of things to come. The previous team to suffer that fate, 2018's Virginia squad that lost to UMBC, turned around and won a national championship the next season. Purdue's triumph over N.C. State makes it two-for-two on upset sufferers getting to the next national title game.

Can the Boilermakers now take the final step the Cavaliers did in 2019?

We'll find out who will stand in Purdue's way starting in just a few moments when UConn tips off against Alabama in Phoenix.

How to watch: UConn vs. Alabama

No. 1 seed University of Connecticut Huskies will face No. 4 seeded Alabama Crimson Tide tonight at 8:49 p.m. ET.

The game will be played at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

It airs on TBS, TNT and TruTV. The game will also be streaming on Max and the NCAA’s March Madness Live.

Purdue covers the spread

The first semifinal is in the books with Purdue cruising to victory over N.C. State. It was a low-scoring affair that sees the game total fall way short of the pre-game number of 146.5, but Purdue does cover the 9.5-point spread.

Player Props that cashed included DJ Horne, Fletcher Loyer, Mason Gillis, and Lance Jones all going over their point totals. Jones and Loyer each also cashed the over in rebounds and 3-pointers. DJ Burns Jr. cashed the OVER with 4 assists.

Ironically, Purdue rolls to a big win and two-time Player of the Year Zach Edey goes under both his points and rebounds totals.

No. 1 UConn will face No. 4 Alabama to claim the final slot in Monday's championship game. The matchup starts at 8:49 p.m. ET.

Edey won second AP Player of the Year award in a row

The Associated Press

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — While many college coaches passed on the unpolished Canadian prospect as the basketball world became enamored with  perimeter play and 3-point shooting,  Purdue coach Matt Painter took a swing on his third center in the recruiting class and found a gem in Zach Edey who led the Boilermakers to  their first Final Four since 1980.

On Friday, Edey collected his second Associated Press Player of the Year award, becoming the first back-to-back winner since Ralph Sampson won three in a row at Virginia from 1981-83. Edey received 57 of 62 votes from journalists who vote in the  weekly AP Top 25.  Tennessee’s Dalton Knecht received three votes and Houston’s Jamal Shead got two.

Edey is the fifth player to win the award in consecutive seasons though Lew Alcindor also won the award twice in non-consecutive seasons.

“There were so many coaches that looked over me,” Edey said. "It’s kind of been the story of my life. People have doubted me. People looked past me. Can’t do that anymore."

Edey will leave Purdue as perhaps the greatest player in school history.

He broke Rick Mount’s 54-year-old school scoring record and now has surpassed 2,400 points. He broke Joe Barry Carroll’s 44-year-old career rebounding mark. His jersey number, 15, hangs in the rafters alongside other All-Americans such as John Wooden and Glenn “Big Dog” Robinson, even one of Edey’s former teammates, Jaden Ivey.

“You can tell he loves the game, you can tell he respects the game and not every No. 1 person is like that,” fifth-year forward Mason Gillis said of his teammate. “I think a lot of people don’t respect the game, don’t respect people around him. He does. He looks out for everybody, he’s a good guy, he stays in the gym and I don’t think we could ask for a better national player of the year. He does it the right way.”

Purdue is headed to the national championship

No. 1 Purdue is going to the national championship game Monday. They will play the winner of the next game, UConn-Alabama.

The Boilermakers prevailed over the N.C. State Wolfpack 63-50.

Purdue pulling away

Purdue is currently on a 15-1 run with just under 4 minutes to play, up 61-43. Edey has continued to dominate downtown and he's been surrounded by a bevy of 3-point shooters.

Timeout N.C. State.

UConn and N.C. State have dual Final Four appearances this year

If you've been hearing a lot about UConn and N.C. State during this year's NCAA tournament, there's a good reason why.

Both schools' men's and women's teams made it to their respective Final Four contests this year.

Last night, though, both the UConn and N.C. State women's teams were knocked out, paving the way for Iowa to face off against South Carolina in the women's championship.

N.C. State win would set a record for lowest seed to make it to championship game

Claire Cardona

There hasn’t been a lead change all game, and with less than eight minutes to go, the Purdue Boilermakers are still up 49-42, but the No. 11 seed Wolfpack is closing the gap.

If N.C. State can come from behind to win tonight, it will set a new record for the lowest seed to make it to a championship game.

No. 8 is the lowest seed to advance to the final round, and it's happened only four times — Villanova (1985), Butler (2011), Kentucky (2014) and North Carolina (2022), according to the NCAA .

Only one No. 8 seed has won the championship — Villanova.

Purdue pulling away from long range

N.C. State has been hanging around but Purdue has picked it up from long range. The Boilermakers now lead 45-33 with 12 minutes left after back-to-back 3-pointers from Lance Jones and Mason Gillis.

Purdue is 8-for-17 from 3 while N.C. State is just 4-for-15. 

Edey is back

Edey just sunk his first basket of the second half, and the first time since the 4:42 mark in first half. We're nearing the halfway mark of the second half.

Other DJ stepping up for Wolfpack

N.C. State’s DJ Horne is keeping the Wolfpack in this game. The senior guard, who averages 16.8 points per game, has 15 points on 6-for-15 shooting with 15 minutes remaining in the matchup.

He's been effective especially in midrange and has carried his team with DJ Burns struggling offensively.

Turnovers a weakness for Purdue

Led by Edey, the Boilermakers are dominant on the boards, ranking sixth in the country in offensive rebound percentage. They’re also ninth in free throw rate and second in 3-point shooting percentage.

But Purdue is the most turnover-prone team at the Final Four, and the Boilermakers don’t force many themselves. They could be vulnerable to a hot-shooting opponent.

In the first half, Purdue turned the ball over 8 times, while N.C. State had 5 total turnovers.

In this tournament: Purdue had an uncharacteristically poor outside shooting day  in the regional final  against Tennessee, getting outscored 33-9 beyond the arc. The Boilermakers made up for that by attempting 33 free throws to 11 for the Volunteers, and they had 13 offensive rebounds to Tennessee’s six.

Edey and Horne lead their teams in points heading into the second half

Zach Edey leads the Boilermakers with 14 points in the first half, and DJ Horne leads the Wolfpack with 13 points, making them the highest scorers on their respective teams so far.

Not the game for free throws

N.C. State doesn't have a single free throw in the first half. The Wolfpack hasn't made it to the line once in the first 20 minutes of play.

And Purdue only has four, proving that free throws are not going to be score-makers in this matchup.

Purdue covers first half spread

The Boilermakers lead the Wolfpack by 6 at the half and thus cover the first half spread, which was 5.

Why men play halves and women quarters

Unlike their male counterparts, the NCAA women’s basketball teams play games of four 10-minute quarters. The men play two 20-minute halves.

The women’s rules were changed in 2015 to “enhance the flow of the game,” according to a 2015  NCAA release  announcing the change.

Prior to the 2015 announcement, women’s college basketball also played in two 20-minute halves.

Both the NBA and WNBA play in quarters, as well: The NBA uses four 12-minute quarters, and the WNBA uses four 10-minute quarters.

Purdue maintains its lead at the half

Headed into the locker room, Purdue is up 35-29 against N.C. State.

Despite a big run in the final minutes of the half, N.C. State was unable to close the gap on the scoreboard.

Horne leading N.C. State rally

Under four minutes to go in the first half and the Wolfpack’s DJ Horne is leading an N.C. State rally. Purdue is still favored but the spread at BetMGM is down to 8.5 with the game total rising to 143.5 points.

N.C. state is on a run

The Wolfpack is on a 9-2 run against Purdue in the last couple of minutes, quickly shrinking the lead the Boilermakers have held on them all game.

Purdue limiting Burns early

N.C. State big man DJ Burns, who dropped 29 points in last weekend's upset against Duke, has been quiet so far against Purdue. With 6:29 remaining in the first half, he has 4 points and 2 fouls.

Purdue coach Matt Painter was asked about it during a timeout.

“He’s made a couple real nice plays," Painter said. "He hasn’t gotten it as much as he normally does. But we just want to push the ball when we have opportunities, and then if not, just establish Zach (Edey) on the block.” 

Edey, an All-American center, has been major. He has 12 points and 5 rebounds thus far.

Burns picks up two fouls so far

Two fouls on N.C. State’s DJ Burns Jr. is problematic.

He is the one player for the Wolfpack who has the size and weight to keep Purdue’s Zach Edey from getting to the rim.

Boilermakers leading after 10 minutes of game play

Halfway through the first half, the Boilermakers have maintained their lead against the N.C. State Wolfpack.

Purdue now favored by 12.5 points

Nearly halfway through the first half, Purdue is now favored by 12.5 points and the game total has dipped to 142.5 at BetMGM.

DJ Horne’s return to N.C. State has played a critical role in the team's Final Four run

GLENDALE, Ariz. — DJ Horne has taken a long road to the Final Four.

The 6-foot-2, 180-pound guard has been the undersized, unoffered recruit out of North Carolina State’s base of Raleigh. He’s been the strong mid-major performer for two years at Illinois State, followed by the reliable scorer at power-conference program Arizona State.

And now, he’s the twice-over homecoming star: playing a lone season with the Wolfpack to net  the most improbable of Final Four runs  that has brought him back to the state of Arizona, less than an hour from his previous college stop with the Sun Devils.

“Everybody has their own path,” Horne said yesterday.

Horne has been a perfect fit for the Wolfpack entering tonight's game against Purdue. He’s been the explosive perimeter scorer as part of a 1-2 punch  with burly March Madness star DJ Burns Jr. in the paint .

The player that’s getting this shot now is very different from the one who left North Carolina as a three-star recruit to play for the Redbirds of the Missouri Valley Conference. He took a second-year jump in production there to average 15.1 points in 2020-21 while shooting 44.6% from the field and 42.4% from 3-point range, making him an attractive player just in time for NCAA legislation clearing the way for players to transfer without having to sit out at a new school.

That ultimately led Horne to Arizona State.

Horne averaged 12.5 points while starting 62 games over two seasons for the Sun Devils, including their return to March Madness after missing two straight NCAA fields. Horne also came up big in Arizona State’s lone tournament game, crossing over defender Rondel Walker to create some space and then  burying a straightaway 3-pointer to tie the game with 15.6 seconds left  and finishing with a team-high 17 points  in a narrow loss to TCU .

“DJ’s a fighter, he believes in himself,” Sun Devils coach Bobby Hurley said. “Like a lot of small guards, he plays with a chip on a shoulder. When he gets going and starts making a couple shots, man, you better look out because he’s a dangerous guy. I think his confidence grows, his belief grows.”

Across the country around that time, Wolfpack coach Kevin Keatts was looking for backcourt help as he retooled the roster after the loss of high-scoring duo Jarkel Joiner and Terquavion Smith. Horne’s development was perfectly timed. He became the top addition for the Wolfpack, who had reached the NCAAs last season.

“Coming in, (Keatts) basically gave me the keys, man,” Horne said.

Joel Justus, a Wolfpack assistant coach who works with the guards, said Horne arrived with confident polish, strengthened through building successful seasons at the mid-major and then the power-conference levels to appear in 159 college games.

Horne has risen to the challenge, averaging a team-high 16.8 points with multiple big showings during N.C. State’s nine-game surge that led to an ACC Tournament title (the first since 1987) and this improbable Final Four trip. The highlight was his  29 points in the ACC title game to take down eventual No. 1 NCAA regional seed North Carolina , then coming through with 39 points and six 3-pointers in the wins against Marquette and Duke — the second of this March surge against the Blue Devils —  that advanced the 11th-seeded Wolfpack out of the South bracket .

It’s a run that has harkened back to the Wolfpack’s miracle run 41 years earlier, earning 2024 a place in Wolfpack lore alongside 1983 and the 1974 squad that won the national championship — a run that included beating UCLA in the Final Four to end John Wooden’s run of seven straight championships.

Horne admitted he had allowed himself to dream a bit as he left Arizona State last year about the possibility of returning to the state to play in the Final Four. That’s exactly what he was doing yesterday as the Wolfpack took the court for its open practice, breaking into big smiles and bobbing his head along with music from the Wolfpack band during the festive event.

Like with everything else, Horne gets to savor that wrinkle, too.

“I was already planning on coming back out here to visit my guys and everything,” Horne said. “But expenses-paid trip and the Final Four, it doesn’t get any better than that. Just to see that it came full circle and it’s right here in front of my face now, I’m ready to take advantage of it.”

Purdue is first on the board

The first points of the night go to Purdue, who snagged a shot on their first possession.

Dinsick: Betting on a low total in the first semifinal

Drew Dinsick, NBC Sports

I like Game 1 to go UNDER the total of 146.5.

Fair for me is closer to 141 and I think possessions will be at a premium, especially if it is a competitive game. N.C. State rebounds the ball well and Purdue has a tough time creating turnovers.

As a result, it’s unlikely we see much transition scoring or second chance points.

I'm holding a ticket on N.C. State’s team total OVER 31.5pts. in the first half (-122).

Wolfpack are on a nine-game winning streak

The North Carolina State Wolfpack head into tonight with a nine-game winning streak.

After losing their last four regular-season games, and seven of nine, they had to win five games in five days in the ACC Tournament, including a win over Duke in the quarterfinal round, just to get into the 68-team NCAA Tournament field.

Tickets for today's games are expensive — but not as expensive as the women's semifinals were

NCAA men's basketball fans will have to pay top dollar to watch tonight's semifinals games — though it won't be as much as what some women's hoops fans paid yesterday.

Ticket site TickPick.com said Friday that the "get-in" price to see today's men's games was $416.

For the women’s, it was $451.

On Saturday, TickPick said the get-in price for tomorrow's women's national championship was $555 — a record.

We'll have to wait to see what the men's championship matchup looks like to see what the final get-in price will be — but it is unlikely to top the interest being generated by Iowa phenom Caitlin Clark.

Fourth Final Four appearance for N.C. State

Purdue has been to the Final Four three times, including this year. The first time the Boilermakers went to the Final Four, in 1969, they went on to the championship game but lost to UCLA.

North Carolina State is more experienced on this stage, historically, even if they were seeded No. 11 this year to Purdue’s No. 1.

N.C. State has been to the Final Four four times, including this year, and went on to win the championship in two of those years, in 1974 and 1983.

Purdue in its first Final Four since 1980 — when gas was $1 a gallon

It's been 44 years since the Boilermakers were within two wins of a national championship.

Despite 35 appearances at the Big Dance and hailing from the huge hoops state of Indiana, where Indiana University has two national titles and Butler has been to the Final Four twice, the brass ring has been just a hair too high for Purdue.

Possibly until now. The team has been fueled by the NCAA men's season-leading scorer, 7-foot, 4-inch Zach Edey, a monument under the basket.

This year, the Boilermakers have odds second only to UConn in the fight for men's college basketball supremacy and are roughly 9-point favorites against North Carolina State on Saturday in Arizona. A win would be big, even in Indiana.

Sports journalist Mike Lopresti notes in a piece published by the NCAA that Purdue's last Final Four appearance was eight presidents ago, a time when ESPN was new, a gallon of gas was $1, and a Big Mac was 28 cents.

Hyped for hoops: Steve Kornacki breaks down the Final Four

N.c. state's two djs — burns and horne.

Purdue has size, but North Carolina State has two DJs: Forward DJ Burns Jr., and guard DJ Horne. On Sunday, Burns scored a season-high 29 points and Horne had 20 to beat private university rival Duke 76-64.

In the postseason, N.C. State has proven almost anything is possible. It ended its regular season with four losses before brawling through the Atlantic Coast Conference, where it also beat Duke, before earning its ticket to the Big Dance.

Purdue is favored by 9.5 points and 7 feet, 4 inches

If North Carolina State asks what Purdue has that it doesn't, there's an easy answer: 7-foot, 4-inch Zach Edey, the season's leading NCAA scorer.

While his planted, back-to-the-basket style is somewhat outdated in the NBA, where he's undoubtedly headed after this weekend, Edey's hulking, 300-pound presence has unraveled foes' defenses and led Purdue to its first Final Four appearance since 1980.

The Indiana team rode on Edey's career-high 40 points to beat Tennessee on Sunday.

As we sit just under two hours from tip-off, Purdue (-450) remains a 9.5 point favorite over N.C. State (+350) at BetMGM with the Game Total set at 146.5 points.

How Purdue and N.C. State got to the Final Four

Before the Final Four tonight, both Purdue and N.C. state had to battle through four rounds of play to earn their spots in the semifinals.

No. 1 Purdue had to beat Grambling State in the first round, Utah State in the second round, Gonzaga in the Sweet Sixteen and Tennessee in the Elite Eight.

No. 11 N.C. state — in a surprising run to the second-to-last round of the tournament — beat Texas Tech in the first round, Oakland in the second round, Marquette in the Sweet Sixteen and Duke in the Elite Eight.

All but one of N.C. State's wins were upsets. The Wolfpack powered through to knock out a six-seed, a two-seed and a four-seed.

N.C. State in Final Four as 11th seed, tying past record

N.C. State made history by advancing out of the Elite Eight on Sunday to play Purdue, tying a record for the lowest seed to make it to the Final Four.

The upset against the Duke Blue Devils put N.C. State on a list of six teams that have advanced to the Final Four as the 11th seed, according to the NCAA .

The other teams to have done so are LSU (1986), George Mason (2006), VCU (2011), Loyola Chicago (2018) and UCLA (2021).

Though it's been a while, the Wolfpack are no strangers to the Final Four — they last played in the semifinal in 1983.

How to watch: Purdue vs. N.C. State

The No. 1 seed Purdue Boilermakers will take on 11th-seeded N.C. State Wolfpack tonight at 6:09 p.m. ET.

ICYMI: Women's Final Four

Last night, the women's Final Four kicked off this championship weekend with two back-to-back games in Cleveland at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.

First up was South Carolina-N.C. State. At the end of the first quarter, the teams were tied up, and by the end of the half, South Carolina only led by 1 point. In the third quarter, though, the Gamecocks pulled ahead and outscored the Wolfpack 29-6, giving them a healthy lead for the rest of the game and assuring them a spot in Sunday's championship.

Shortly after, Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes faced off against Paige Bueckers and the UConn Huskies. After a slow start for Clark, UConn held a lead at the end of the first and second quarters. The Hawkeyes tied it up at the end of the third, making the last 10 minutes of play a nail-biter. Ultimately, the Hawkeyes pulled through, giving Clark one final game of her college career before she heads to the WNBA.
