Over the weekend, four different schools of all shapes and sizes earned a berth into the 2011 Final Four. From a historic blueblood to a modern one, a young upstart and a complete shock to the system, Kentucky, Connecticut, Butler and VCU are each a game away from the rare opportunity to play on Monday night. If you see/find any other good ones this week, send them to us at rushthecourt@yahoo.com.
VCU
We have no idea how someone got together a rap song to celebrate VCU’s Final Four run along with a pretty solid editing job, but here it is. It’s really worth watching through to the end.
Butler
The Bulldogs held a 2 am pep rally in the venerable Hinkle Fieldhouse late Saturday night/Sunday morning. The best part? Matt Howard (we think?) talking about getting the “real call” from President Obama, and not the “runner-up call.”
Kentucky
You knew that Kentucky fans were going wild after the Wildcats’ first Final Four berth in thirteen years, but we’ve never heard of students mobbing the LIBRARY?!?!?! We’ll let you insert your own joke about some of these kids not knowing how to find the place. Special ups, though, for the UConn cheer.
Connecticut
Who says Beantown is all about the Celtics, Pats, Sox and Bruins? Here are some images from a Boston bar going wild as the Huskies outlasted Arizona on Saturday night.

The Dagger reported that it was Nored, not Howard, with the speech.
