After a very exciting Sweet Sixteen, the NCAA Tournament will host its Elite Eight on March 25 and 26.

What an exciting two days of college basketball.

The Sweet 16 definitely lived up to the hype on Thursday and Friday, with four of the eight games being decided by three points or less. In fact, the last game on Friday provided us with the most exciting moment, as Florida nailed a three at the buzzer to beat Wisconsin in overtime.

Now, after starting with 68 teams on Mar. 14, the NCAA Tournament is down to its final eight participants. Five different conferences will have one representative, while the SEC has a surprising three teams moving forward. Unfortunately, the Big Ten is the only major conference without a team playing in the Elite Eight.

There will be two games each on Mar. 25 and 26th, with all four regions hosting one game each. Every game has intriguing aspects and it looks like it will be another amazing weekend of college basketball.

Below, we will take a look at all four Elite Eight battles, with betting odds courtesy of Covers.
