NCAA tournament Elite Eight scores, updates: No. 3 Kansas State vs. No. 9 Florida Atlantic

It's safe to say this is a regional final almost no one expected to see.

Third-seeded Kansas State meets No. 9 seed Florida Atlantic in the East regional final at Madison Square Garden on Saturday for a spot in the Final Four.

Not only has neither team ever won a national championship, K-State hasn't been to a Final Four since 1964 and FAU had never won a single NCAA tournament game before this year.

But here we are.

The Wildcats are coming off a thrilling overtime win over Michigan State in which point guard Markquis Nowell dished out a tournament-record 19 assists to go with 20 points in a legendary performance.
