Finally… Four For A Championship

Tonight, history is made. Kansas, Memphis, North Carolina, and UCLA. Four regular season champions. Four conference tournament champions. Four titans. Four top seeds. One hundred and forty-three wins and nine losses.

Initially, each won easily. In the second round, Kansas and North Carolina scorched. Memphis and UCLA struggled. In the Sweet Sixteen, each reassumed authority. In the Elite Eight, Memphis and UCLA excoriated. Kansas and North Carolina endured. The quartet has been imperfect. Yet, the aforesaid is irrelevant.

Since seeding started, the NCAA has craved this scenario. Four superpowers survive. They advance. They contest a championship. Tonight, history scores and collides. Greatest final four ever? The seeds answer… Yes.
