Next week’s Final Four will feature three blue blood programs and a Cinderella story whose most famous fan is a 98-year-old nun. Kansas and Villanova booked the last two spots in San Antonio Sunday as the Jayhawks defeated the Blue Devils 85-81 in overtime in the Midwest Regional Final in Omaha while the Wildcats knocked off Texas Tech 71-59 in a black-and-blue East Regional Final in Boston. Villanova and Kansas will tip off the second semifinal 40 minutes after the conclusion of the first game. Earlier Sunday, Villanova rode their balanced scoring and stingy defense past Texas Tech to keep their drive for a second national title in three seasons alive. Villanova also outrebounded Texas Tech 51-33, a total that included 31 defensive rebounds, and collected six steals.
