March Madness is finally over, as the NCAA Basketball Tournament has reached the Final 4 stage for both the Men's and Women's divisions. The hottest team may be NC State, an 11th-ranked team that knocked out one of the Men's tournament's favorites, #4-ranked Duke.

Since March Madness began, the NC State Wolfpack has won nine straight elimination games, with a massive run to beat the Blue Devils from behind, 76-64. The team is now the sixth No. 11 seed to make the Final Four in men's NCAA tournament history.

However, NC State had a slow start as it struggled in much of the first half, with Duke leading big. However, midway through the second half, the underdog team got hot and torched the Blue Devils, outscoring them 27-11 within a 10-minute period.

According to Yahoo! Sports, NC State's two DJs, DJ Horne and DJ Burns, led the team passed the perennial college basketball powerhouse, with Burns scoring a game-high 29 points while Horne scored 20 against Duke, which struggled to score in the second half.

Few picked NC State to be in the Final 4 of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament as they were ranked pretty low. However, the team defied expectations and upset Texas Tech by 13 in the first round before beating fellow Cinderella team, Oakland, by 6 in the second round. It then went on to upset Marquette in the Sweet 16 before beating Duke.

Despite NC State securing the NCAA Final 4 spot, however, the Wolfpack will have to face one of its toughest challenges yet, and that is #1-ranked Purdue, which is led by top NBA prospect and star center, Zach Edey, who many predict would be the #1 draft pick in this year's NBA Draft.

On the other side of the bracket, however, tournament favorite UConn is still in contention and made the Final 4 as many had predicted. Meanwhile, #4-ranked Alabama, which knocked out #1-ranked North Carolina, did what many did not expect, and that was to also make it to the Final 4.

UConn blazed through the competition, beating lowly Stetson and Northwestern en route to the Sweet 16 where it defeated 5th-ranked San Diego State University. It defeated fellow powerhouse Illinois in the Elite 8 to qualify for the Final 4.

Over at the women's side, the Final 4 has not yet been decided, though #1-ranked North Carolina remained undefeated while the women's team for NC State knocked off #1-ranked Texas to qualify for the second Final 4 slot.

Eyes now turn to the remaining Elite 8 games, which include #1-ranked USC taking on #3-ranked UConn and #1-ranked Iowa taking on #3-ranked LSU. The big news would be top WNBA prospect and superstar-in-the-making Caitlyn Clark.

She has made headlines and raised interest in women's basketball for her record-breaking achievement and she would cap it all off with not just qualifying for the Final 4, but winning the tournament all the way. However, long-time rival LSU, stands in her way.
