The Elite 8 gets underway today with four teams looking to claim the first two spots in this year’s Final Four.

SCHEDULE (All times Central)

11 Loyola vs 9 Kansas State, 5:09 PM, TBS, Atlanta, GA

Kansas State has been established as a 1.5-point favorite over the Ramblers in the first game of the Elite 8 round. Loyola has two Kansas kids on its roster who are no doubt looking forward to this matchup with K-State. Loyola has won its three NCAA Tournament games by a grand total of four points, while K-State has stifled its opponents into averaging just 60 ppg in the Tournament play.
