Good morning! A lot happens in sports, even when you’re busy doing other non-sports-y stuff. So here are the top headlines and moments from yesterday, in case you missed anything while you were watching Bar Rescue.

The #FinalFour is set

March Madness is living up to its name as the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament was pure insanity, headlined by No. 10 Syracuse upsetting No. 1 Virginia, 68-62, to reach the Final Four. The Orange faced a 15-point deficit in the second half but used a stifling full-court pressure defense to end the game on a 29-8 run. Freshman Malachi Richardson scored 21 of his 23 points in the second half to lead the charge. ‘Cuse is just the fourth double-digit seed to reach the Final Four.

No. 1 North Carolina staved off a second-half run by No. 6 Notre Dame to win 88-74 and advance. Each starter scored in double-figures for the Tar Heels, led by Brice Johnson’s 25 points and 12 rebounds. North Carolina is the lone one-seed to reach the Final Four. The Tar Heels may have gotten the win, but the Fighting Irish had the best highlight and our must-see moment with this poster-dunk by V.J. Beachem and subsequent reaction by Zach Auguste:

On Saturday, two was the lucky number as second-seeded Villanova and Oklahoma both defeated the respective top seeds in their region. The Wildcats upended tourney-favorite Kansas. 64-59, while the Sooners dominated Oregon, 80-68. The Final Four will be played next Saturday with Villanova taking on Oklahoma at 6:09 p.m. followed by a meeting between Syracuse and UNC. And remember, you can catch all of the tourney action at your home, in your car and on your smartphone with SiriusXM’s  coverage, powered by Westwood One.

Klay goes for 40

Klay Thompson was on fire this weekend with back-to-back 40-point games to keep the Warriors on pace for 73 wins. Golden State defeated Philadelphia, 117-105, to move to 66-7. Stephen Curry added 20 points and eight assists while Draymond Green got himself another triple-double with 13 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists.
