Only in college basketball are coaches and players so heralded for qualifying for a semifinal round. Yes there are 64 teams and it is somewhat notable but Final Four appearances are lauded far more frequently than NCG appearances.
I say this meaning no disrespect to Coach K for his accomplishments in any way, but this cultural fascination with the alliteration of the phrase "Final Four" is puzzling to me. It's a semifinal.

It's impressive for the fact that there are so many more teams that play basketball. You have the usual suspects in football. But in basketball you have the basketball only schools, ala Gonzaga, Villanova, etc.

NCG = no hardware
