2016 NCAA Tournament: Saturday's Elite Eight Games - OPEN THREAD

Two teams will be able to book their flights to Houston after tonight. Oregon and Oklahoma start the evening off before we get to watch Kanas and Villanova. Surprisingly the 1 vs. 2 seed, for the right to go to the Final Four is a rare thing and we get both games tonight as a matchup of the top four seeds from the left side of the bracket.

Oregon was considered the weakest number one seed and the Pac 12 has been the biggest underperformer amongst the conferences of the tournament. Up against Oklahoma who has Buddy Hield and Jordan Woodard who have been carrying the Sooners through the first three rounds.
