Wildcats got 18 points and 14 rebounds from Anthony Davis (above with clinching dunk) and shot 57% from the field as a team to hold off in-state rival Louisville and advance to the national championship game Monday night. Louisville outrebounded Kentucky 40-33, but shot just 35% for the game. It will be Kentucky's first title game appearance since 1998.
Kansas 64, Ohio State 62
The Jayhawks fell behind by as many 13 points in the first half, but rode a dominating second half defensive effort, to shock the Buckeyes and advance to the national championship game. Ohio State's Jared Sullinger really struggled against the Kansas bigs, scoring just 13 points on 5 for 19 shooting, and Ohio State settled for jump shots as a result. They were 5 for 9 in the first half, but shot just 3 for 13 in the second half. As a result, Kansas rallied, getting 15 points from Travis Releford and 19 from All-America Thomas Robinson in the win.
