Boy Gonzaga didn't come to play. UConn to the Final 4!

FAU great game against KState. What a come back. Just the 2nd all time in NCAA Men's. FAU to the Final 4!

    Anyone have a data table of the bracket seedings of final four teams by year over the last 20-30 years?

      UnholyDefenestrator78 I don't, but there are a fair number of places on the web that keep track of that sort of thing.
      This year is definitely an outlier. Most years at least one 1-seed makes the Final Four. The 1-4 seeds are generally much more likely to advance to the Elite Eight and Final Four over the years. The average is 1.7 of the Final Four are 1-seeds.

        scotts33 UConn is going to be tough to beat if they keep it up. I'd like to see UConn/Miami and Fla Atlantic/SD St.....those are the teams playing the best although Creighton and Texas are no lt far behind. Who knows could be up for some amazing games and if Texas loses the 4 is highest seed left😳

            ode This National Championship is gonna be like having the Whalers and Flames playing for the Stanley Cup🙄.

              Miami is the team I picking to go all the way. Their comeback against Texas was absolutely amazing! Basketball fundamentals came to the fore... Not one 3 point attempt in the second half and the entire team's free throw shooting was absolutely clutch!

              Fantastic women's game between Iowa and undefeated, defending Champs South Carolina.

              But Iowa had Caitlin Clark, sort of a 50 years later reincarnation of Pistol Pete. Despite South Carolina getting 26 offensive rebounds to Iowa's 6, and despite taking 24 more shots than Iowa, Iowa wins on the strength of 41 points and 8 assists by Caitlin, including four clutch free throws within the last 15 seconds of the game.

              That was something else.

                No doubt Caitlin is amazing. She was involved either scored or assisted in 75% of Iowa's points in the game.

                Final game vs. LSU should be good.

                      Well said. Great watch.
                      I hope the Final is as good. 🏀👍

                        Wow, that was a big-time clutch shot! Congratulations SDS

                          I was rooting for FAU. My stream failed with 47 seconds left sl I didn't get to see how it ended. 🤨
                          FAU ended up losing on a buzzer beater, but they actually lost the game over the last ten minutes or so by giving up so many dammed offensive rebounds. Not to mention pretty much every loose ball.

                          I don't think either of these teams can beat either of the other teams. Really hoping for a Miami win, though.

                            Watched the last 5 mins and it was sloppy as hell, but exciting.....good poise by that SD St. player to know the clock and get a good look! Gotta feel for Fla Atlantic....3 fantom fouls in that timeframe which were all bad calls! Ballsy coaching move to let it play out by SD St.

                            How was that even possible? And it wasn't like they were all crazy long rebounds.

                              Who watched the women's final? LSU was just too big for Iowa. And that Carson girl for LSU! 21 points without a miss in the fist half, off the bench, wow. Morris was super tough, too. Clark and Sononu (sp) getting in foul trouble sealed it for LSU. Some really bad officiating all around.

                                Yeah officiating was def bad, lots of ticky tack stuff that should not have been called. LSU played out of their head in q2 making most everything. That was the difference. Iowa never got back in the game (maybe 8 was the closest could've been 6🤔). LSU out rebounded them, got to the loose balls quicker and overall Iowa had trouble dealing with LSU's athleticism/quickness.

                                  ode agree it was over because of the 2nd qtr. That Morris girl was really good down the stretch

                                    The one girl didn't hold back in taunting Clark glaring at her and pointing at her ring finger. That was a bit much. Clark didn't seem to respond.

                                    LSU played a helluva game! How often does it happen that a team beats a juggernaut and then gets beat the following game......hard to keep up that level of play!

                                      azgreg I wondered. The hand over the face thing?

                                          Looks like in an elite 8 game vs. Louisville.

                                          ode The hand over the face thing?

                                          I guess it means "can't see me."

                                          Clark is a big shit talker from what I gather and I don't have a problem with it.

                                              azgreg girls sport is so funny, it does.not appear the refs or coaches and for the most part the girls get caught up in that too much. Men's that's likely a T🤔, girls it's play on🙃. Minimal flopping too!

                                                ode yea, that Angel Reese is a jerk. She made the " little " gesture after making a basket inside. So weak. Also I don't think LSU went through the handshake line, sad. But the coach should have got them and forced them to do it, so that's as much on her. One thing I like about the women is there's less posing and showing off, but it's still there
