At San Antonio:
Jamie Skeen scored 26 points and pulled in 10 rebounds as #11 Virginia Commonwealth, who some people felt had no business playing in this year's NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, knocked off top-seeded Kansas (the last such team left in the tournament) 71-61 on Sunday to win the Southwest Region and reached the Final Four for the first time in school history.
Next Saturday, the Rams will take on Butler in the first of the two national semifinal games to be played at Houston's Reliant Stadium.
