In a disappointing turn for fans of Cinderella teams like this year's tenth-seeded Davidson, all four of the number one seeds in the NCAA men's basketball tournament made the Final Four.
Prior to the start of the season, pollsters selected North Carolina, UCLA, Memphis and Kansas as the top teams in the nation. Then the tournament selection committee also chose those teams as the best, rewarding each with a number one seed. Lo and behold, the four teams who have made it to the Final Four are the aforementioned.
Never before have all four number one seeds made it to the Final Four.
North Carolina made it by defeating third-seeded Louisville, Memphis beat two-seeded Texas, UCLA knocked out third-seeded Xavier, and in a near upset and the Cinderella story of the tournament, number ten Davidson couldn't hang on against the Kansas Jayhawks.
It will be a tough battle as the four best teams in the country face off to determine who is the lone number one. North Carolina (36-2) will play Kansas (35-3) and Memphis (37-1) will take on UCLA (35-3) Saturday.
