Elite Eight [3/30/08]

Midwest Regional – Elite Eight: With No. 1 Kansas’ 59-57 win against No. 10 Davidson, the Jayhawks completed history as all four No. 1 seeds reached the Final Four for the first time in NCAA Tournament history. The Wildcats put up a good fight, however, ending the game with a chance to win. Senior guard Jason Richards missed a buzzer-beating three-pointer after the Jayhawks forced anyone but Stephen Curry to take the final shot. Curry finished his sensational run in the tournament with a 25-point performance on 9-of-25 shooting. But Kansas’ defense prevented Curry from dominating late in the game, limiting Curry to only one basket in the final eight minutes. Trailing 51-49, sophomore guard Sherron Collins made his only basket of the game, a three-pointer that gave Kansas the lead and eventual victory. Junior guard Mario Chalmers and senior center Sasha Kaun each scored 13 points to lead the Jayhawks, who will play North Carolina in the Final Four. [3/30/08]
