The Elite Eight is here and it is full of a few perennial favorites
and also a few surprise teams and a few teams no one had at all reaching this
point in the NCAA Tournament. The Teams that are left vying for next
weeks Final Four and Championship Game on April 4th in New Orleans are as follows:
#15 seed - Saint Peter's
#10 seed - Miami (Fla)
#8 seed - North Carolina
#5 seed - Houston
#4 seed - Arkansas
#2 seed - Villanova
#2 seed - Duke
#1 seed - Kansas
The
NCAA Tournament started with 68 teams and we are now down to the last
Eight. Gone are a most of the favorites, brackets busted, players from
teams eliminated already announcing for the upcoming NBA draft and some
Coaches fired and others moving onto hopefully greener pastures and new
teams. College Basketball Fans alike root for their favorite teams but
also seem to root for an underdog going as far as they can as March
Madness starts to wind down with one week left to go.
The Sweet 16 saw the biggest surprise of the Tournament in Saint Peter's upset Purdue to become the first #15 seed ever to reach the Elite Eight. Two more #1 seeds went down in the Sweet 16.. Gonzaga and Arizona.. Kansas is the only #1 seed alive.. Duke and Villanova are the only #2 seeds left and many wonder if the Blue Devils can win another Title for Coach K in His last NCAA Tournament. Any of these Teams can make it into the Final Four next weekend... Joey
once again is having a very successful picking of his NCAA Bracket, going
47-9 and 6-2 in the Sweet 16 games and so far and still has out 5 of the 8 teams in the Elite Eight. Here
