Fans on Twitter went off about the ending to the Kansas vs Villanova game.
On Saturday night, the No. 1 Kansas Jayhawks faced No. 2 Villanova Wildcats in the Elite Eight. The winner would receive a spot in the Final Four to play the Buddy Hield led Oklahoma Sooners.
The game was chaotic, often going back and forth in lead changes. Villanova was up by a few possessions towards the end of the game, but guard Frank Mason III hit a huge three-point shot to bring the score to 58-57 with 25.5 seconds left.
Unfortunately for Kansas, they wouldn’t be able to take the lead on Villanova. The Wildcats increased their lead off free throws and even had a wild deflection go their way. They would win 64-59 and defeat the No. 1 overall team in the tournament. They will now move on to the Elite Eight to face Oklahoma next weekend.
As always, the Twitter reaction was wild for this crazy ending to an NCAA Tournament game. Here is what fans had to say in regard to the ending.

Interesting history: the last time Houston hosted the #FinalFour in 1971, Villanova was there.

Kansas choked in a big game and couldn't get to a #FinalFour after being the #1 overall seed? pic.twitter.com/XDoOGb9AJO

Really happy for Jay Wright and this #Villanova team to be headed to the #FinalFour. Maybe the best collection of talent he's assembled.

So pumped! Can't wait to get that revenge on Oklahoma next week. 4-32 won't happen again. #LetsMarchNova #FinalFour

Villanova may not be thought of as a basketball power but they have been to the #FinalFour in 4 of the last 5 decades.

This was a great game and the one next weekend vs the Sooners should be a lot of fun. A spot in the National Championship game will be on the line with everyone watching.
