A familiar face will be there with the Kansas Jayhawks advancing to their third consecutive Elite Eight, thanks to building up a 20-point second-half lead over Clemson then holding on for a four-point win on Friday. A win on Sunday over Duke for Kansas would send them to their first Final Four since 2012.
We have two No. 1 seeds still active, with Villanova joining Kansas in the Elite Eight. The Wildcats got 27 points from Jalen Brunson on Friday night in a hard-fought victory over the relentless pressing defense of West Virginia. Villanova on Sunday will take on Texas Tech in the first game of the day, to decide the East Region. It is the Red Raiders’ first trip to the Elite Eight in school history.
CBS will televise both regional finals on Sunday, with online streaming available through NCAA March Madness Live.
