As I’m sure you all know by now, college basketball history was made at the NCAA Tournament last night!!
Kansas and Providence got off to a bit of a rough first half where neither team could get it going offensively, but the Jayhawks were still keeping them at arms length. After an intense second half where Providence kept it close until the end, Kansas was able to pull it out!! They made history!! It was their 2354th all time win as a program, which is the most wins for any program ever!! Big time congrats to the Kansas Jayhawks!!
But, that wasn’t all!!
The Miami Hurricanes also made history!! They advanced to the Elite Eight for the first time ever!! Their win over Iowa State was a historic moment for that program, and a testament to just how good of a job Jim Larranaga has done since he took over there. He also took George Mason on a miracle run to the Final Four back in 2006, and is just one win away from doing it with Miami!
But there was even more!!
North Carolina knocked off UCLA in another game that came down to the final seconds, and is now just one win away from their 21st Final Four! They already hold the all time record for Final Four appearances and are very clsoe to adding to it!! North Carolina barely looked like an NCAA Tournament team for much of the year, but since the final week of the regular season, they’ve looked like a Final Four caliber team in the ACC Tournament and now in the first three rounds of the NCAA Tournaement.
So, again, what a crazy historical night at the NCAA Tournament last night!!
Hmmm….I can’t help but think I’m forgetting something. Did anything else of note happen last night that I’m leaving out??
I don’t know. So much happened that it’s just hard to keep up with everything. ENJOY THE ELITE EIGHT EVERYONE!!!
