Oregon is back in the Final Four for the first time in 78 years after a 74-60 win over Kansas.

The Ducks earned their first trip to the Final Four since the inaugural tournament in 1939 and got to take part in the annual tradition of cutting down the net after claiming the regional final.

First up was guard Dillon Brooks, who had 17 points, 5 rebounds, and four assists in the victory.

Then it was 25-year-old Dylan Ennis, who has waited a very long time for the opportunity to trim off a piece of mesh.

The second-to-last piece of the net went to Nike founder and Oregon alumni Phil Knight, who is the ultimate Ducks booster.

And the final piece was reserved for head coach Dana Altman who will be in his first Final Four in his 28th season as a head coach.
