March Madness is still in full swing, with shocks dominating the Sweet 16, setting the stage for a possibly historic Elite Eight.
The 2022 NCAA Tournament has proven to be the craziest March Madness tournament ever. Two more top seeds were knocked out, leaving Kansas as the only 1-seed still alive in the Elite Eight, while Saint Peter’s extended their Cinderella run by defeating Purdue.
Although the chances of hitting this precise Elite Eight were exceedingly remote, the tournament’s narratives have continued to demonstrate why March Madness is so remarkable. Check out the most recent NCAA Tournament bracket, which includes tickets to the Final Four.
The March Madness bracket has been updated as we approach the Elite Eight.
On Saturday night, the action begins with a pair of fascinating games in the South and West Regions. Houston will attempt to reach its second consecutive Final Four when they face Villanova in San Antonio, which might serve as a de facto home game for the Cougars, although the day’s main event will take place in San Francisco later on.
The matchup between Duke and Arkansas isn’t as strong as the last game, but a win for the Blue Devils will send them back to the Final Four. A win there would extend Mike Krzyzewski’s last NCAA Tournament run to the season’s final weekend, which would keep alive the chance that he could retire with a sixth title.
On Sunday, the Midwest and East regions were in action, but Kansas’ bid for a Final Four berth is definitely the underdog story of the day. All eyes will be on Philadelphia to see if the Peacocks can upset North Carolina and advance to the Final Four, becoming March Madness’ biggest Cinderella story.
