NCAA March Madness Final Four Bracket - Update

The 2011 Final Four: Connecticut Huskies, Kentucky Wildcats, Butler Bulldogs, VCU Rams.

The four regions of the 2011 NCAA March Madness college basketball tournament have all been decided and there are two schools in the Final Four that come from traditionally weaker conferences.

The four regional champions this year are the Connecticut Huskies of the Big East, the Kentucky Wildcats of the SEC, the Butler Bulldogs of the Horizon League, and the VCU Rams of the Colonial Athletic Association.

The Final Four will take place next weekend with the Connecticut Huskies facing the Kentucky Wildcats in one national semifinal while the other semifinal features a 'classic' 8 seed versus 11 seed game as the Butler Bulldogs face Virginia Commonwealth.

To view the bracket and to see how it all went down this year visit CBS's bracket here: 2011 March Madness Bracket.

While no team seeded 1st in any of the regions has made the Final Four for the first time since 2006, this year no team seeded 1st or 2nd has made the Final Four and that is the first time that has happened since the tournament expanded to at least 64 teams back in the 1980's. 

The Connecticut Huskies, a three seed, are the top seeded team remaining in the draw and they have the best player in the tournament as well in Kemba Walker.
