Gonzaga made it to the Final Four, and the news exploded like a stone thrown into a pond after the game ended on the night of March 25th, rippling outwards and spreading across the entire America.
The final four is the ultimate stage of the NCAA each year, the ultimate dream of every college basketball player's career.
Before this year, Gonzaga University hadn't even made it to the NCAA Tournament, but this year they soared to the sky, which is precisely the charm of the NCAA.
You never know when a genius will suddenly emerge from your alma mater and lead the team to new heights, just like Larry Bird did in 1979 for Indiana State University, which had never made it to the NCAA Tournament before then.
And in 1979, their performance in the NCAA was just one step away from becoming a legend.
