Oregon reaches first Final Four in 78 years: Twitter reacts

There was plenty to say on Twitter after the Oregon Ducks defeated Kansas Jayhawks to reach their first Final Four in 78 years.

The Final Four in Arizona is going to see some fresh faces this year. On Saturday, both the Gonzaga Bulldogs and Oregon Ducks earned their spots in the big dance. It’s the first time Gonzaga has ever been to the Final Four. For the Oregon Ducks, it’s the first time they’ve been since 1939 when they won the National Championship.

It was an emotional victory for the Ducks and also a downright impressive one. Jordan Bell had eight blocks on the night and established himself as one of the most dominant big men in the NCAA currently. The Ducks got to this stage last year in the Elite Eight but fell just short of the Final Four.

Now, they’re back in the Final Four and they have a great shot at bringing home their second National Championship and first in 78 years. After the win, Twitter had plenty to say about the Ducks making it to the Final Four.
