In an NCAA Tournament that had the first No. 16 seed win over a No. 1, and an unprecedented 9-vs-11 regional final, two No. 1 seeds made it to the Final Four. Only one will play for the national title since perennial Big 12 champion Kansas plays Villanova in the second regional semifinal game.
Both teams have AP All-America guards. Villanova’s Jalen Brunson was also named The Associated Press men’s college basketball player of the year. Kansas senior Devonte’ Graham was the Big 12 player of the year.
Brunson is averaging 19.2 points game and 4.6 assists per game while hitting 41 percent of his 3-pointers (82 of 198).
