The Wichita State forward seemed stunned at the words on the side of his brand-new ballcap: "Final Four Atlanta." "It's crazy. I still can't believe we're here," Early said. "You try to expect it, but you expect a lo...

So Craft didn't realize the highest seeds in the West Regional were dropping like dominoes until earlier this week. He purposely didn't learn much about ninth-seeded Wichita State unt...

And with a dramatic flair that would make No. 24 proud, Ross sent the Buckeyes to the brink of another Final Four. Ros...

Across the court, the Hoosiers' heartbeats could finally slow down. No. 1 Indiana had barely escaped the big upset. The Hoosiers finally figured out a way to stop Wyatt — bump him, shadow him, deny him the ball — and used a clos...

The Hoosiers were on the brink. As the clock ticked down, coach Tom Crean wouldn't allow himself to thing about defeat, so his mind wandered elsewhere. "That's when you just pray," he said...

Aaron Craft did a little bit of everything in the Big Ten tournament final. This was one determined bunch of Buckeyes.

The 20th-ranked Badgers shot 53 percent from the field, their best performance of the season, to rout No. 13 Ohio State 71-49.

It has certainly been one of the most fun to watch this season.
