Update:

This is where March Madness gets interesting as just eight teams remain in contention as Sweet Sixteen gives way to the Elite Eight round.

The UConn Huskies came into this year’s tournament as the reigning NCAA champions, looking to record a historic three-peat but were stunned by Florida in the second round falling by two points.

The Duke Blue Devils wrapped up No. 1 seed in the ACC on Saturday night and will soon have superstar Cooper Flagg back on the court and are many people’s tip for the title.

This weekend sees two games staged on Saturday night with the remaining two matchups being played on Sunday.

The Final Four in San Antonio commences next Saturday (April 5) with the championship final earmarked for Monday, April 7.
