The Elite Eight of the 2022 March Madness Tournament begins on Saturday, March 26. Here are the two games scheduled for the big day of college basketball.
March Madness in 2022 is nearly over. The annual NCAA Tournament began with 68 teams, and we are down to eight remaining vying for a national championship.
The Elite Eight officially begins on Saturday, March 26, where the winners will all advance to the Final Four scheduled to take place next weekend. Here are the two games set for the big weekend of college basketball.
March Madness games today, March 26
No. 2 Villanova vs. No. 5 Houston — 6:09 p.m. ET — TBS
No. 2 Duke vs. No. 4 Arkansas — 8:49 p.m. ET — TBS
The first game of Saturday night will be between the Villanova Wildcats and the Houston Cougars. Villanova ended the hopes and dreams of the No. 11 Michigan Wolverines, defeating them 63-55 on Thursday night. But it was Houston who picked up one of the biggest wins of March 24, as they sent the No. 1 seed Arizona Wildcats home with a 72-60 win.
This game will be followed by the Duke Blue Devils taking on the Arkansas Razorbacks. The Blue Devils look to advance to their first Final Four appearance in 2015 and to help send out head coach Mike Krzyzewski into retirement with his sixth national championship. But standing in their way are the Razorbacks, who eliminated the No. 1 Gonzaga Bulldogs with a 74-68 victory.
Four teams enter Saturday night, but only two will advance to the Final Four in New Orleans, La.
