We are down to just the Elite Eight in the 2018 NCAA Tournament, with Saturday giving us a pair of regional finals in the South and West.

Up first is the wacky South Region, which has been beautiful in its chaos. None of the top four seeds survived the first two rounds, and Saturday’s regional final gives us the first No. 9 vs. No. 11 matchup in NCAA tourney history (6:09 p.m. ET, TBS). The 11-seed Loyola-Chicago Ramblers have won their three games by a grand total of four points, including a one-point victory over Nevada on Thursday night. Loyola faces No. 9 Kansas State, who knocked off No. 5 Kentucky on Thursday.

The nightcap on Saturday is in Los Angeles, with No. 3 Michigan battling No. 9 Florida State in the West Region final. The Wolverines made mincemeat of No. 7 Texas A&M Aggies on Thursday night in a 27-point pasting.
