Wisconsin head coach Bo Ryan never missed a Final Four with his dad, Butch. Before the elder Ryan passed away in 2013, he said that he always wanted to see his son coach against Duke in the championship game. Well, UNC coach Roy Williams made sure that would happen when he donated a seat to honor Butch Ryan.

Sect. 140, Row A, Seat 13 will be left open for tonight's game.

This is one of the best parts about sports - people being brought together who normally wouldn't be. And Williams was especially gracious considering the younger Ryan's Badgers beat his team in the Sweet 16.
