VCU

VCU isn't the first mid-major to reach the Final Four, or even the first No. 11 seed. But no team has won five games to reach the Final Four, and no No. 11 has had a better chance to do actual damage there.

No matter what, a good part of the nation will root for one mid-major Cinderella to win the NCAA tournament on Monday. But since two of them are facing off on Saturday night, it makes it hard to decide which one to root for.

By the end of the weekend, the Sweet Sixteen had lost 12 of its number and the 2011 Final Four of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament bracket was set.

Predictions for the final three games of the 2010-2011 NCAA Men's Basketball season. Butler vs. VCU and UCONN vs. Kentucky. A look at the semi-final games and the National Championship game.

Two Sundays earlier, virtually the entire nation bashed VCU for even reaching the NCAA tournament. But 14 days later, much of the nation - outside of Kansas- hailed the Rams for completing their upset-laden journey to the Final Four.

The Final Four games are always must-see games, and the storylines are as great as they have ever been this year. This post gives an inside edge on what could happen in these two games.

The amazing Virginia Commonwealth University victory over the Kansas Jayhawks in the NCAA Basketball Tournament takes me on a trip down memory lane.

Few people saw the NCAA tournament results coming this year. Yet Butler making the Final Four, UConn winning the West region, a CAA team facing the biggest favorite left in the Elite Eight, and a North Carolina-Kentucky regional final, is hardly rare.

In the past, a Butler-VCU matchup would have served as a notable battle between bracket busters. Yet no one pictured it as a pairing for a national semifinal, but it is one more massive VCU upset away from happening now.

This is a preview of the Elite Eight games happening on March 27th.

After Thursday and Friday's Sweet 16 games -- where only one, much maligned #11 VCU, of the four cinderellas entering made it through. At the same time, only one of the three #1 seeds, Kansas, got through. But only one will move advance...

VCU is a surprising 11th seed from the CAA, who has survived in a bracket filled with many Cinderellas and one overwhelming No. 1 seed. That exact formula worked well for George Mason in 2006, and is going to form for VCU right now.

Virtually everyone bashed VCU for getting in the NCAA field, and bashed the First Four format in general. But the Rams shut everyone up last week, and now they can further validate the First Four in general by going deeper.

Using various sources, the student used observations of the past, present and future to defend their answer if VCU is headed in the right direction for 2020.

The CAA Basketball Championship will be held March 5-8 in Richmond, VA. Can Northeastern or William & Mary win their first Colonial Athletic Championship? Will VCU manage to defend its title despite not being the favorite?

It's a small world after all.

For the first time in NCAA Tournament history, not a single #1 or #2 seeded team made the Final Four.

After a week of waiting, and endless David and Goliath references, Butler, VCU, Kentucky and UConn are set to actually play the Final Four. Butler and VCU go off at 6:09 p.m. est, with Kentucky and UConn following up 40 minutes later.

The Final Four lineup this year is unprecedented in several ways. Having Butler and VCU both there is one thing, but even Connecticut and Kentucky qualify as surprises, since they weren't expected to get this far for once.

Half of the Final Four got through in nail biting fashion yesterday. Today, Kansas hopes to have it easier against VCU, while Kentucky and North Carolina battle for their latest regional title.

Butler and VCU aren't the only surprise members of the Elite Eight this year. Aside from Kansas, everyone else has pulled surprises and overcame major obstacles to get here - even old powers like North Carolina, Kentucky, UConn, Arizona and Florida.
