final four

Derrick Rose scored 22 points and hit a short go-ahead jumper with 4.8 seconds to play, and the Chicago Bulls rallied from an 11-point deficit in the final four minutes for a 88-87 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday.

Three of the NBA's final four are set. Zach Randolph and Grizzlies or Kevin Durant's Thunder will fill the final slot after a winner-take-all Game 7 in Oklahoma City.

Seven players held at least a share of the lead on a turbulent Masters Sunday. Charl Schwartzel emerged from the pack with four birdies on the final four holes to claim his first major.

Maya Moore met her match. Skylar Diggins scored 28 points and Notre Dame upset UConn 72-63, ending Moore's brilliant career and the Huskies' quest for a third straight national title.

Shelvin Mack scored 23 points on 8-of-11 shooting and Zach Hahn came up big off the bench with eight second-half points in the Final Four on Saturday night, leading Butler back to the national title game with a 70-62 win over upstart VCU.

This is a Final Four nobody saw coming: Butler vs. VCU and Kentucky vs. UConn. The best part may be the made-for-TV, good-vs.-evil matchup in the title game, writes Michael Rosenberg.

Kentucky is back in the Final Four for the first time since 1998. The Wildcats held off the Tar Heels 76-69 to join Connecticut, Butler and VCU on college basketball's biggest stage.

This was no fluke. The better team won, writes Andy Glockner. VCU executed its game plan, hitting 12 of 25 shots from beyond the arc to shock Kansas 71-61 and reach the Final Four.

Butler prefers old-school basketball and old-style celebrations to all the preseason nonsense.
