McCormack won't be denied on this poster dunk (0:16)

David McCormack jumped up to throw down a dunk over Samuels. There is a time and a place.

The first Final Four game was won by the Kansas Jayhawks. The Jayhawks beat the Wildcats 81-65.

With a couple of monster dunks, Kansas senior forward David McCormack had a career night with a season-high 25 points and nine rebound. Ochai Agbaji made six 3-pointers.

Check your brackets

The Jayhawks have won 10 in a row, the longest active streak in Division I. Kansas will play in its 10th national title game. UCLA, Kentucky, North Carolina and Duke are the only teams to have played in 10 title games. Bill Self has been to the national title game before. He won the title in 2008.

Social media showed respect to the team that lost in the title game.

We told you all... We didn't come this far, to only get this far.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP BOUND! #RockChalk pic.twitter.com/JOHrlkdQ26
