The road to the Final Four ends here, as Oregon, Kansas, Xavier, Gonzaga, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Kentucky will fight to go to Phoenix. I am rooting for Xavier, but they will have to get through Gonzaga first. Florida will face South Carolina in a match-up that no one expected to happen. In the final seconds of their game against Wisconsin, they were leading, but barely. Then, the Badgers made a miracle three-point runner to force overtime. Wisconsin carried this confidence into OT, but then Florida did the exact same thing. You can see both of them here.

South Carolina's was not nearly as close. They crushed Baylor, beating them 70-50 to reach their first elite eight. Another blowout was UNC's game against Butler. They didn't win by as much, but it was still dominant. Xavier is the tourney's Cinderella. They beat heavily favored Arizona, and look to do the same to Gonzaga, who beat a very good West Virginia team to get here. The most anticipated game, between UCLA and Kentucky, was won by the Wildcats in a fierce battle.Kansas beat Purdue, who was also a pretty good team. Purdue was upset by Michigan in the Big 10 tournament. The team that beat them, Michigan lost by one point to Oregon, who beat my favorite team, the URI team. It will be interesting to see what happens to these teams that made farther than everyone thought. I thought Duke, Villanova, UCLA, and Arizona would still be here. Expect the unexpected as the Final Four is set
