A spot in the Final Four will be on the line as the NCAA men's and women's basketball tournaments get set for the Elite 8 matchups, beginning on Saturday.
Also known as the Regional Finals, the Elite 8 round is perhaps the most bittersweet in all of March Madness. The teams still alive have already accomplished so much after winning three tournament games, but the big prize of making it to the Final Four – for the men, it's in the Phoenix area; for the women, it's in Cleveland – requires one additional step. For the teams that fall short, the loss can be devastating.
The men's NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 round will have two games on Saturday, March 30 and two games on Sunday, March 31.
There are four sites for the men's regional finals.
