Games 398-399: Championship game next
NCAA Tournament national semifinals
April 1 at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ
CBS
399 - (3) Oregon vs. (1) North Carolina
398 - (7) South Carolina vs. (1) Gonzaga
So, after 4 1/2 months of basketball, top seeds Gonzaga and North Carolina will play for the national title on Monday.
In the first game of the night, Gonzaga used another excellent performance from its best player, Nigel Williams-Goss (23 points on 9-of-16 shooting, six assists) and survived, 77-73.
South Carolina saw its improbable tournament come to an end, though the seventh-seeded Gamecocks' 16-0 run allowed them to erase a 14-point, second-half deficit and lead 67-65 at the seven-minute mark. Gonzaga reasserted itself and followed with seven quick points (Zach Collins hit a three and assisted on another basket and Williams-Goss had the other two assists during the spurt) and the Bulldogs hit just enough free throws to hang on.
It seems pretty fitting that Gonzaga will play North Carolina for the title as these two have seemed like the best all-around clubs in the country for much of the year.
The Tar Heels had a double-digit lead, but a late Oregon flurry (and UNC missing its final four free throws in the last five seconds) made the final score - 77-76 - a bit closer than it really was for much of the second half. Kennedy Meeks came up big for the Tar Heels, pouring in 25 points, 14 rebounds (eight offensive!) on a silly 11-of-13 shooting from the field. ACC player of the year Justin Jackson added 22 points for UNC, which returns to the championship game after last year's heartbreak at the hands of Kris Jenkins and Villanova hoping for its sixth national title.
Gonzaga, of course, is playing on the season's final day for the first time.

I can't imagine being a beat writer for the Connecticut womens basketball team. What is left to talk about on a game-by-game basis?
The Huskies rolled to an unbelievable 10th consecutive final four with Monday's 90-52 win. Geno Auriemma is now the winningest coach in NCAA Tournament history, passing Tennessee's Pat Summitt with No 113.
Auriemma is 113-17 all-time in the tournament. Ridiculous.
Few quick things about the Huskies' top three players:
The All America teams were announced before the game and for some reason Gabby Williams was not named to the first team. That's an interesting decision because I think she might be the best all-around player in the country. Williams has the quickness to get to the rim and is a really good mid-range shooter (58% from the field overall), and knows her range (only six three-point attempts all year (one make!)). She's an excellent rebounder (averaging 8.4) and distributor (leads the team in assists, averages 5.2) and has the size - 5-11 - to be an impact pro.
The second-team All-American had 25 points on 9-of-13 shooting and added six rebounds, three assists and four steals in Monday's rout.
Napheesa Collier was one Connecticut player deservedly named to the first team, and she was tremendous in this one, scoring 28 points (on 12-of-20 shooting) to go along with 12 rebounds and four blocked shots. Between the third and fourth quarters, Auriemma told ESPN that he was upset with Collier, stating that she "isn't playing any defense". I think either Auriemma was joking or running out of things to be upset about.
Fellow first-teamer Katie Lou Samuelson, who averages 20 points, showed her value in several other areas Monday despite shooting just 4-of-13 from the field and scoring eight points. The sophomore had five of Connecticut's 16 steals and handed out four assists with no turnovers.

Games 390-391: First half of final four set
NCAA Tournament regional finals
391 - (3) Oregon vs. (1) Kansas
March 25 at Sprint Center in Kansas City, MO
TBS
The Ducks reached the program's first final four since 1939 with a 74-60 victory, thanks to a defense that held top seed Kansas to 20% shooting from three and 35% overall, but the invidual performances of Jordan Bell and Tyler Dorsey stood out.
Bell did everything, finishing with eight (!) blocked shots, 13 rebounds (seven on the offensive end), and added 11 points and four assists. Dorsey was 6-of-10 from three-point range and poured in 27 points. An absolutely phenomenal evening at the perfect time for both of these gifted players.
Oregon will be a very tough opponent for either North Carolina or Kentucky in next week's national semifinals despite the fact that whomever wins that Sunday regional final will almost certainly be favored.
390 - (11) Xavier vs. (1) Gonzaga
March 25 at SAP Center at San Jose in San Jose, CA
TBS
Historic day for Gonzaga, which reached the final four for the first time in program history (and first for the West Coast Conference since 1957 and those great San Francisco teams), with a dominant performance.
The Bulldogs' defense was exceptional, holding the 11-seed to 35% shooting from the field and 12% from three, while Gonzaga itself made half of its 24 three-point attempts in an 83-59 win.
Gonzaga was at its best defensively in the guarding of Trevon Bluiett, who came into the game averaging 25 points in the tournament, but was held to 10 points on 3-of-14 shooting.
His free-throw shooting wasn't pretty (2-of-8), but otherwise, Johnathan Williams was fantastic for Gonzaga. The junior had 19 and 8 and added three blocks, while Nigel Williams-Goss was his usual steady self, leading the way with 23 points, eight rebounds and four assists.

Games 387-388: Sweet night
NCAA Tournament regional semifinals

387 - (7) Michigan vs. (3) Oregon
March 23 at Sprint Center in Kansas City, MO

The top seed Jayhawks and third-seeded Ducks will meet in Saturday's regional final.
Kansas turned a seven-point halftime lead into a lopsided, 98-66 victory mainly because the Jayhawks have three terrific guards.
Frank Mason is a national player of the year candidate for a reason: the senior can do it all. Thursday, Mason had 26 points (9-of-11 from field, 4-of-5 from three), seven assists and seven rebounds and was in complete control of the Jayhawks' offense. Devonte Graham also scored 26 (7-of-15, 5-of-9), while Josh Jackson added 15 points and 12 rebounds. In fact, the freshman Jackson had three more rebounds than the Purdue duo of 6-9 Caleb Swanigan and 7-2 Isaac Haas.
Kansas was only up six about six minutes into the second half, but rolled the rest of the way and shot 53% from three-point range.
The Big 12 regular season champion is right now playing better than anyone in this tournament.
In the first game of the night, Michigan's Derrick Walton missed a three with about three seconds to go that would've been the game-winner as Oregon survived, 69-68.
Walton's final collegiate game was another good one - 20 points and eight assists - though for once, it wasn't enough. Zak Ervin was also really good for Michigan - he and Walton combined for 39 points on 14-of-24 shooting, but the rest of the team shot just 11-of-34 from the field.
Outstanding game for Oregon's Jordan Bell, who scored 16 points and was a monster on the glass with 13 rebounds. He and Tyler Dorsey (20 points, including five threes) are the big reasons why Oregon is in the Elite 8 for the second consecutive season looking for its first final four since the first tournament back in 1939.

That's two consecutive Thursday evenings I've gotten a chance to watch Oregon and before they blew a 19-point lead at UCLA a week ago & tonight they were very impressive.
In a 79-61 win, the Ducks made 53% of their shots with four main guys - Dillon Brooks (20 points, 9-of-13 shooting), Jordan Bell, who did a bit of everything with 17 points (missed just one of eight shot attempts), seven rebounds, five of the team's 10 blocked shots and three assists, Tyler Dorsey (16 points) and Payton Pritchard (seven assists) - leading the way.
Oregon, which won its 41st consecutive home game (longest in the nation), has a really good eight-man roation with Dylan Ennis the other starter and Chris Boucher (three blocks Thursday), Kavell Bigby-Williams and Casey Benson coming off the bench. Combine an offense with five players averaging double-digit points with a defense that leads the country in blocked shots and is top-20 nationally in field goal percentage and three-point defense (Utah shot 38 and 15%, respectively in those categories on Thursday), and Oregon is on a fairly long list of national title contenders.
If not a title, then this certainly looks like a team capable of at least making the program's second final four and first since winning the first NCAA Tournament in 1939.

Bill's back with some more things he loves.
William?
"Mental discipline"
"Maui" (repeat from game 1)
"The way Georgetown is playing"/"Loved the first half"
"Rainbows"
"Waterfalls"
"Volcanos"
"Clay Jamison...love that guy"
"Turtles...I love turtles"
"Hummus"
"The way that Oregon comes completely into their press"
"Continental tires...I love my gator skins"
"I love this tournament"
And let's leave Bill in Maui, where I'm assuming at some point in the next few days he's going to rent a two-bedroom apartment with Rick Barnes.
Bill!
1. "I've had my nose broken 14 times."
2. [after a second half foul call] "I'm embarrassed for the sport...I'm embarrassed for humanity."
