Will anyone stop the SEC?
We’ve reached the Elite Eight, a place the Syracuse Orange haven’t been since 2013, but we’ve still got one former Orange player in action in the Big Dance.
Maybe you wanted more Cinderella stories, but this is the strongest Elite 8 according to the KenPom numbers.
Is this the best Elite 8 ever? 8 of the top-9 in kenpom are alive including 1-7. In addition, the top-6 teams would’ve all been ranked #1 at kenpom in 3 of the past 5 seasons.

Here’s the schedule for the next two nights, starting with tonight’s games:
#3 Texas Tech vs #1 Florida 6:09 pm TBS/TruTV
#2 Alabama vs #1 Duke 8:49 pm TBS/TruTV
Then, tomorrow afternoon we have:
#2 Tennessee vs #1 Houston 2:20 pm CBS
#2 Michigan State vs #1 Auburn 5:05 pm CBS
If you didn’t notice, the only #2 seed that failed to make it this far was Rick Pitino’s St. John’s squad. How’s your bracket doing? Right now the “Robert J ‘72” leads the TNIAAM MBB bracket group after the first two rounds. “funkysoul777” has the lead in the WBB bracket group.
Enjoy the games
