Elite Eight Part 1

Posted by: Bradley McDonald

Last night Louisville proved that they deserved more than a No. 4 seed by knocking off No. 1 Washington with ease, 93-79.

And Arizona proved I don't know what I'm talking about by beating Oklahoma State. It was an awesome game, though, and it took a jumper by Salim Stoudamire with 2 seconds left for Arizona to squeeze out a one-point win. This game had everything a basektball fan could want. Two great coaches firing away at each other with different in-game strategies, brilliant players stepping up (Joey Graham - 26 points), and, of course, drama.

Illinois ended the Cinderella journey of UW-Milwaukee and West Virginia sent Bobby Knight's Texas Tech team packing to round out the other teams in the Elite Eight so far.
