Welcome to a men's Final Four with a bit of everything.
In UConn and Purdue, we have two mighty No. 1 seeds on opposite sides of the bracket. Then we have Alabama and NC State, which earned their way here with excellent and highly watchable basketball. Whatever happens now, we will remember 2024.
Is everything that was once old new again? This Final Four has two post presences in Purdue's Zach Edey and UConn's Donovan Clingan, who are so dominant that while they're on the floor, it sometimes looks like we've turned the clock back to a time when 3s either mattered less or didn't even exist.
Throw in NC State's DJ Burns Jr., and you're looking at a trio of stars who together have combined to make four 3s all season. But what an impact these three have had.
Here are the four impact players of the 2024 Final Four.
