Only one game remains in the 2022 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.
No. 1 seed Kansas and No. 8 seed North Carolina will play for the national championship on Monday evening. The Jayhawks are coming off a win over Villanova, while the Tar Heels are coming off an upset of Duke.
Coach K’s final season has been the main storyline of the NCAA Tournament, but a close second might be the cheerleaders who stole the show.
Over the course of the NCAA Tournament, cheerleaders from Arkansas and Indiana have stolen the show with their ball retrieving skills.
The Indiana cheerleader saved the day during the first round game against St. Mary’s.

The Indiana cheerleader who went viral even landed a name, image and likeness deal out of it.

The Arkansas cheerleader who went viral has surely seen her social media profiles raise in followers, too.
Perhaps a UNC or Kansas cheerleader will steal the show on Monday night.
