Three of the best teams in the country - Louisville,
Pittsburgh and Memphis - have something in common with
three of the worst teams in the country - Grambling, Alcorn
State and New Jersey Tech.
Players from all six will be among the other 343 Division
1-A teams watching the games Saturday (4-4-09) when #1
North Carolina meets #3 Villanova and #1 Connecticut meets
#2 Michigan State to vie for the right to meet in the NCAA
2009 National Championship game during March Madness in
Detroit (MI).
A funny thing happened on the way to the Final 4 in Detroit
- 4 upsets occurred.
No. 2-seed Michigan State dominated #1-seed Louisville in
the second half to win 64-52. No. 3-seed Villanova got a
last second floater from Scottie Reynolds to nip #1-seed
Pittsburgh 78-76. Villanova also crushed #2-seed Duke 77-54
before knocking out Pittsburgh.
No. 3-seed Missouri outscored mighty #2-seed Memphis (33-4
going in) 102-91 in a run-and-gun game without defense. It
was little wonder that Missouri would be ousted by
Connecticut in their Regional Final, 82-75, after the
Huskies ran over Purdue 72-60.
Pittsburgh had its hands full with Xavier, winning 60-55,
and the Panthers' luck ran out against Villanova. North
Carolina rolled over Gonzaga 98-77 and then gave Oklahoma
the stats, played Tar Heel basketball and made it two
in-a-row, winning 72-60.
Coach Roy Williams has North Carolina on a roll, making it
to the Final 4 for the second consecutive year and a record
18th time overall, moving the Tar Heels out of a tie with
UCLA at 17th appearances.
North Carolina has a pedigree to envy with 4 NCAA
Championships (1957, 1982, 1993 and 2005), 27 Atlantic
Coast Conference Season Titles, an overall 73% winning
record, and has the most consecutive 20-win seasons with 31
straight from 1970 through 2001.

This year was unusual though as none of the Final 4 teams
came in as Conference Tournament Champions, thus all 4 are
at-large contestants, marking only the third time it has
happened since the field was expanded to 64 teams in 1985.
