On to the Elite Eight in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament. Gonzaga, Michigan, UCLA, USC, Oregon State, Houston, Baylor and Arkansas have all made it through, with more games coming tonight as the stretch to the Final Four begins. Oregon State faces Houston at 7:15pm. Baylor meets Arkansas at 9:57pm.
Memphis defeated Mississippi State 77-64 last night to win the NIT Tournament championship. Former NBA All-Star Penny Hardaway led his alma mater to the title in his third year as head coach.
The women’s NCAA tourney also has reached its Elite Eight. Top-seeded Stanford is still alive as is #1-seed South Carolina. Interesting match-up tonight with Baylor and UConn meeting to decide who moves into the Final Four.
