Men's NCAA D-I Final Four: Four Teams, Four Stories. One Shining Moment.

The road to Atlanta has come to an end. The Final Four in Division I NCAA men's basketball is this weekend at the Georgia Dome. Lots of stories coming out of the four participants heading into Saturday's national semifinals.

Wichita State, the 9th seed in the West, is making their first Final Four appearance in school history, and they had an interesting path to go through in that region. They defeated Pitt in the first round, top seed Gonzaga in the second, the rising LaSalle squad in the regional semifinal, and Ohio State in the regional final.

Louisville, the only number 1 seed still left in the tournament, is going through a whole lot, especially after the Kevin Ware scary leg injury in the Midwest regional final on Sunday at the 'Drum.' Quite possibly one of the more scarier moments in sport, Ware broke his leg and his teammates began to cry. His teammates will honor him this weekend with this phrase "all in for ware." The 'All in' comes from adidas, UL's official equipment supplier, whose slogan is 'all in.'

Michigan is back in the Final Four for the first time in nearly 20 years, with a new coach, and a squad that never gives up. The South regional champions are ready to do something the Fab Five never did--win a national title.

Syracuse, despite the problems in that program, still managed to win the East regional against Marquette. Wonder how some people will feel if they win it all?

With that in mind, the national semifinals:

NATIONAL Semifinals

(4S) Michigan v (4E) Syracuse

The final three matches of the NCAA tournament-the Saturday semifinals and the Monday night final-are all on CBS, kicking off a week of NCAA championships that end with the national championship for men's ice hockey Saturday night (4.13) on ESPN.
