47-48 RECAP
TOURNAMENT RECAP
Top seeds: Kansas, Kentucky, Boston College, Florida State

Because only the large conferences have big tournaments, the quality of the NCAAs should improve pretty dramatically meaning more upsets since the lower seeds will be a lot better than they'd otherwise be.

The Continental Divide Conference sent Colorado School of Mines to the NCAAs and they picked off Michigan State in the 1st round of the tourney, for the conference's first-ever NCAA win.

ELITE 8
Kentucky over Notre Dame
Seton Hall over Princeton
Tulsa def. Wisconsin
Boston College def. Temple

FINAL FOUR
BC def. Seton Hall
Tulsa def. Kentucky

NATIONAL TITLE
BC def. Tulsa
This was Boston College's first appearance in the Final Four. In fact, the program had only made the Sweet 16 for the first-time ever last season. Tulsa Head Coach Zac Foley keeps that program going, this is their 3rd national finals appearance since he took over in 1941 and their 5th Final Four.
