Michigan and Loyola Chicago both come into the national semifinals riding double-digit winning streaks, with Villanova and Kansas not far behind, on nine- and seven-game streaks, respectively. For the Ramblers, its their first trip to the Final Four since the school won it all in 1963. Michigan last made it this far in 2013, where the team lost in the national final. Villanova is trying to win its second title in three seasons, while Kansas is back in the Final Four for the first time since 2012.
