No. 1 Kansas vs. No. 5 Virginia
The Final Four is nearly set with the final game being between Virginia and No. 1 Kansas. If the Jayhawks win then they will join Dayton as the only other top seed to make the Final Four. Virginia is looking to win back-to-back national titles but getting past the Jayhawk powerhouse will be no easy feat.
As a reminder, we are simulating these games over at What If Sports and are doing just like the NCAA Tournament, one loss and you’re out.
Final score: No. 1 Kansas 73, No. 5 Virginia 66
Kansas is onto the Final Four after dispatching of Virginia by a mere seven points which was aided by a six-point first-half lead. Kansas led from the 13:21 mark in the first half and never looked back and is now off to another Final Four under Bill Self.
The difference was the Kansas defense that held Virginia to 41 percent from the field compared to the 51 percent that the Jayhawks shot to get the win.
