The way the Blue Devils have closed out the last two games is the kind of basketball that shows why it has been mentioned all season that Krzyzewski might finish his Hall of Fame career in New Orleans at the Final Four. As you prepare to watch all the action on Saturday, here's some storylines to follow. The field of 68 has been narrowed to eight, and now it's time to send two teams to the Final Four. 1 seeds bounced and Duke storming back against Texas Tech, Villanova was the lone winner without too much drama as Jay Wright's team has flipped the narrative and made deep tournament runs commonplace for this modern college basketball power. The Cougars beating Arizona wasn't as much of a surprise as Arkansas' victory, but it was unexpected to see a Wildcats team that had been so effective all year trail the entire game and lose by 12 points. Like Arkansas, Houston is surging into the next round after beating a No. 5 seed Houston in the South Region final. The early game of the Elite Eight doubleheader will be No.
Arkansas coach Eric Musselman has already gotten the team to back-to-back Elite Eights for the first time since Richardson reached the title game in both 19, and he'd love to keep that renaissance rolling with a confident team that just bounced the No. These two programs faced off in the national championship game in 1994 and Coach K was denied a title by Nolan Richardson's Razorbacks. 4 seed Arkansas had other plans and will take the Zags' spot on the big stage, facing Mike Krzyzewski and the Blue Devils in the West Region final out in San Francisco. 2 seed Duke in a rematch of their regular-season thriller.
1 seed Gonzaga figured to be here in the Elite Eight, perhaps even against No.
As we prepare to send two teams on to the Final Four in New Orleans on Saturday in the Elite Eight, it's notable not just who has made it to this point, but also who is not here after a wild Thursday night that saw the top two No. The 2022 NCAA Tournament has featured a steady stream of shocking results that likely busted quite a few brackets and unbelievable storylines that have been almost too good to be true.
