Jayhawks and Tar Heels square off in San Antonio |
Brandon Rush and Kansas will battle North Carolina for the right to play for the national title. |
San Antonio, TX (Sports Network) - In what is sure to be one of the most memorable Final Fours in NCAA Tournament history, powerhouses Kansas and North Carolina will take the floor at the Alamodome in San Antonio in Game Two, following the UCLA/Memphis matchup. It marks the first time in tournament history that all of the top seeds have advanced to the Final Four. The matchup with Kansas will be bittersweet for UNC's Roy Williams, who coached in Lawrence for 15 seasons before taking the helm in Chapel Hill five years ago. The significance of it is not lost on Williams. "I have the greatest love for a place that I gave my heart, my body and my soul for 15 years. I will never play the University of Kansas in a regular season game. It will have to be some type of tournament - whether it's NCAA or a holiday tournament. But nobody in the world could have more love or tried to give more to that place than I did for 15 years. And they gave me a chance. They gave me a chance when I was not exactly a household name; I was barely a name in my own house. I have no idea what my emotions will be, I'm just ecstatic for this club right now to be going to San Antonio and to enjoy what's going on and enjoy their accomplishments." continue>> Are you in the Game? Don't just be a bench warmer; get in the game here!
