The 11th-seeded Rams, who didn't even bother to watch the NCAA tournament selection show, are heading to Houston, and final No. 1 seed Kansas is heading home after a spectacular collapse.
Jamie Skeen scored 26 points as the Rams delivered the biggest upset of the NCAA tournament, shocking the Jayhawks 71-61 on Sunday to become just the third 11th seed to ever make the Final Four.
"Those people [the doubters] don't matter," VCU coach Shaka Smart said. "The only people that matter is the 14 guys on our team, and they never stopped believing."
One of those doubters was one of Kansas' vaunted Morris twins -- Marcus or Markieff.
During a captains meeting with officials before tipoff, VCU guard Joey Rodriguez said one of the brothers offered him some parting words: "The run ends here."
"We'll see," Rodriguez shot back.
The Jayhawks saw all right.
