Top-seeded Gonzaga and 11th-seeded Xavier try to reach the NCAA Tournament Final Four for the first time in school history when they meet in Saturday's West Region final at San Jose, Calif. Each school is also part of the Elite Eight for only the third time while the Musketeers strive to become only the fourth 11th seed to reach a Final Four.

Kansas and Oregon made it to this point last season before failing in their attempts to reach the Final Four, and get a second chance Saturday night when they meet in the Midwest Regional final in Kansas City. Top-seeded Kansas is averaging 96 points in three games during the NCAA Tournament as it goes after its 15th Final Four appearance while the third-seeded Ducks can win a regional for the first time since winning the title in 1939.
