The Gamecocks are flying to Phoenix
Since the NCAA tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985, South Carolina was 0-4 in March Madness. It had never made it out of the Round of 64.
This year, the Gamecocks are 4-0 and off to Phoenix, after a 77-70 win over Florida.
Back to back for the Heels
Oh man, oh man. Can UNC and Kentucky play every day, please? The Wildcats outlasted the Tar Heels 103-100 when the teams first met in December thanks to a Malik Monk go-ahead three with 22 seconds left.
This time, with the Final Four on the line, it was Luke Maye — yes, Luke Maye, a former walk-on — for the win, breaking a 73-73 tie via a deep jumper with 0.3 ticks left on the clock to give the Tar Heels a 75-73 win.
Watch the final seconds of UNC's win
With it, North Carolina earned a second straight Final Four bid, its 11th Final Four appearance since 1985.

Dunks of the day
Bam Adebayo flushed his 100th dunk of the season — more than multiple NCAA teams — against UNC, and it was just one of a handful of highlight-reel jams. Watch the dunks of the day here.
