Kansas Jayhawks and Maryland Terrapins have reached the NCAA Tournament's Final Four after recording victories on Sunday. A convincing 104-86 win over Oregon took Kansas through, while Maryland edged Connecticut 90-82. Oklahoma and Indiana had already booked their places in Atlanta for the semi-finals following wins on Saturday. Kansas were never behind against Oregon and were led by impressive displays from Drew Gooden and Nick Collison. Collison had 25 points and 15 rebounds while Gooden had 18 points and 20 rebounds as the Jayhawks advanced to the last four for the first time since 1993.
But in the end, the Terrapins were too and Junior Steve Blake hit the shot that sealed victory. He sank a 3-pointer to make it 86-80 in the final minute, virtually clinching the game for Maryland. Baxter led Maryland with 29 points, with Juan Dixon adding 27 points. Highly-ranked Oklahoma held off Missouri 81-75 and Indiana, overcame Kent State 81-69 on Saturday. Hollis Price scored 18 points to lead Oklahoma, who make their first Final Four appearance since 1988. Missouri had been hoping to become the first 12th seeds to ever advance to that stage. Indiana, meanwhile, made a school-record 15 three-pointers in their victory. The Hoosiers were sharp all night, making their first eight long-range shots of the night. It will be their first appearance in the national semi-finals since 1992.
