The Elite Eight round of the 2017 NCAA Tournament gets started on Saturday night, and given that the action gets split into two nights, there are less games per evening than what we’ve been used to. But these matchups look like they will be pretty good ones. The action is headlined by the No. 1 Gonzaga Bulldogs taking on the No. 11 Xavier Musketeers, and then followed by the No. 1 Kansas Jayhawks vs. the No. 3 Oregon Ducks.
