Before we look forward to Saturday's Final Four matchups, let's take a look back at how the four survivors made it to the promised land in the NCAA Tournament. It's a historic bracket this year as a grand total of zero No. 1 seeds advanced to the Final Four as a No. 8 and No. 11 seed broke through to crash the major conference party. It's been a nightmare for bracket predictions, but a thrilling ride as the NCAA Tournament was as unpredictable as ever this year.
For a look back at how the Final Four teams made it to Houston, check out SB Nation's updated 2011 NCAA Tournament printable bracket. For VCU, the road to the Final Four began in the brand new First Four as part of the NCAA Tournament's expansion to 68. Nobody expected the Rams to be here, especially after playing in an opening round game.
