Today, the final two pieces of the Final Four puzzle were put together, as Memphis and Kansas advanced to San Antonio.
Kansas defeated Davidson 59-57, as Jason Richards' long-range, last-second three pointer sailed wide left of the rim, ending the Wildcats' run at basketball immortality.
Kansas suffocated Stephen Curry for most of the game, shooting 4 of 16 from three point range. However, he did have 25 points.
The most impressive team of the day - outside of Davidson - were the Memphis Tigers.
Roaring to an early lead and shutting the door on two Texas mini-runs, the Tigers were victorious in Houston, 85-67.
The Final Four teams left standing are all number one seeds, a first for Division 1 College Basketball.
In one national semifinal, UCLA will take on Memphis in a battle of contrasting styles - both on and off the court.
The other game pits two teams with truckloads of talent, as North Carolina and coach Roy Williams will meet his former team, the Kansas Jayhawks.
Update: Drive & Dish had promised our readers that we would be covering the 2008 Final Four in San Antonio.
That was the plan. Right up until the NCAA denied us media credentials.
We are extremely disappointed in this development. However, we will do our best to turn this negative into a positive.
That's right, D&D will do our best to cover the culminating event of the college basketball season right here in Chicago.

I'm glad to see Memphis get to to the Final 4. They're fun to watch and I think Chris Douglas-Roberts has some Scripture tattooed on his bicep.
Far out dudes,
I hope my Spartans will pull off a few shockers next March. We're looking good. I've got to say that California is where its at. I'm from the Bay Area, but I think it's UCLA's to take. They've made it the past couple years as well. UNC looks like the second best. I like Roy's UNC - Kansas matchup.
