This will be Clemson’s first Elite Eight appearance since 1980. Alabama’s men’s basketball team hasn’t been to a regional final since 2004.
The other side of the bracket is giving us an incredible showdown between No. 1 overall seed UConn and the No. 3 seed Illinois in the Elite Eight. The Huskies blasted San Diego State in the Sweet 16 on Thursday in a rematch of the 2023 national championship game. The Illini were able to hold off No. 2 seed Iowa State. UConn and Illinois currently rank No. 1 and No. 2 in offensive efficiency in the country. If you like buckets, this is the matchup for you.
