The first three teams to make the Final Four were Gonzaga and South Carolina — who have never made it this far in the NCAA tournament — and Oregon, who hasn’t gone since 1939.
2017’s Final Four teams have 24 combined Final Four appearances. UNC has 20 of them.

Then there’s UNC rounding out the field.
Yeah, UNC has 20 Final Four appearances alone, the most of any team in NCAA men’s basketball history.

That might have something to do with why almost no one saw this Final Four coming.
So, yeah. He hasn’t won yet but Roy Williams has good reason to be dancing.
