The Rams of VCU become just the third 11 seed to make the Final Four.

The VCU Rams are into the Final Four as they defeated the Kansas Jayhawks on Sunday in the Southwest Regional final from San Antonio.

With the historic win the Rams become just the third 11 seed to make the Final Four of the March Madness tournament with George Mason in 2006 and LSU in 1986 being the others.

The Rams will face the Butler Bulldogs in one of the national semifinals and that will guarantee that a seed as low as at least 8th will make the national championship game.

The final score in the game between KU and VCU was 71-61 and the Rams led throughout although they had to persevere through a second half surge from the Jayhawks.

The other regional final from Sunday is yet to be played however the Kentucky Wildcats and the North Carolina Tar Heels will soon meet for the right to face the Connecticut Huskies next weekend in Houston, Texas.
