NCAA regional final weekend had it all, except a K-State victory: SportsBeat podcast
So many twists and turns on the way to the Final Four. It’s enough to make you dizzy. But that’s what makes March Madness the spectacle that it is.
On today’s SportsBeat KC podcast, we review the regional championship weekend that produced the Final Four field of Florida Atlantic, Connecticut, San Diego State and Miami. The title games featured remarkable drama, upsets and three newcomers to the Final Four — all but UConn — for the first time since 1970.
Also, this marks the first time since seeding started in 1979 that no teams seeded among the top three will play on basketball’s final weekend in Houston.
You’ll hear from Kansas State, a program that had its best NCAA run in six years, reaching the East final before falling to Florida Atlantic. Point guard Markquis Nowell became a star of the tournament with his scoring and playmaking, and we’ll hear from him and other Wildcats from the tournament for the final time.
