Saturday gave us two nice moments as the result of the two Elite Eight games. Gonzaga defeated Xavier to get to their first ever Final Four, and in the nightcap, Oregon knocked off Kansas to get to the Final Four for the first time since they won the very first ever NCAA tournament back in 1939.
With the Big East officially knocked out of the tournament, that means we’re free to cheer for whatever nonsense we want. Personally, with a #1 and a #3 advancing on Saturday, I’m hoping that Kentucky, a #2 seed, and Florida, a #4 seed, win on Sunday. I think it would be fun to have a 1-2-3-4 Final Four.
Of course, there’s also a lot of fun to be had with North Carolina advancing to Glendale. Roy Williams and the Heels winning a national championship would really throw a wrench into everyone’s “ACC BAD” hot takes from last week, wouldn’t it?
Both games will be televised on CBS and both will be streamed via March Madness Live.
