And then there were eight. This wild NCAA Tournament is beginning to settle down a tad bit, but there is still plenty of intrigue on the opposite side of the bracket.
The No. 12 Oregon State Beavers, who haven’t won a game in the NCAA Tournament for nearly three decades, have suddenly found themselves in the Elite Eight, the same distance they made it back in 1982. They’ll take on a Houston Cougars squad who thankfully embarrassed the Syracuse Orange in the Sweet 16.
The second game of the day will be the truly exciting one.
