After a long and extremely exciting run, Stephen Curry and his world-shocking Davidson Wildcats will be heading home.

The number one-ranked Kansas Jayhawks became the fourth Regional favorite to make it all the way to the Final Four, joining UCLA, North Carolina and Memphis, with their 59-57 victory Sunday afternoon.

The intensely fought match saw the tenth-seeded Wildcats on top with seven minutes remaining in the second half and come frighteningly close to stealing the game out from underneath the Jayhawks in the final seconds.

With time burning off the clock, sophomore sensation Curry had the ball and the opportunity to further his vastly-expanding NCAA legacy.

But Curry, who finished with 25 points, couldn't break free from a hounding Kansas defence and lateraled the ball to point guard Jason Richards who mislaunched the potential winner.

In Richards' defence, the overlooked point man finished the contest with seven points and eight assists.

Brandon Rush of Kansas finished the game with 12 points but struggled from the field finishing just 4-14. Sasha Kaun however, as he nearly doubled his season average with 13 points on 6-6 shooter.

Marion Chalmers added 13 for the Jayhawks.

With the win, Kansas will prepare for their semifinal matchup with the North Carolina Tar Heels.
