Elitists

Posted by: Bradley McDonald

After some dramatic ball games in the Sweet Sixteen, the Elite Eight is set! It seems like every one of the games in the last round came down to a last second shot, and many of them actually did. Top seeds Villanova and UConn survived, but had to play in overtime to do it.

Here are the Elite Eight matchups (with seeds):

(4) LSU
(2) Texas

(1) Memphis
(2) UCLA

(1) UConn
(11) George Mason

(1) Villanova
(3) Florida

Who doesn't belong? Correct! No. 11 seed George Mason continues it's Cinderella-type run through the big dance, but look for that magic to run out against UConn. All the other games could be decided by a flip of the coin. That's how close these games should be.

Congrats to my dad, who sits atop our bracket pool now. He picked an amazing seven out of the eight teams in the final eight!

Go, Tigers!!!
