The Elite Eight is the championship game for each section of the bracket and it determines who advances to the Final Four. Every Elite Eight game is very competitive and that pattern only continued after this years action.
4. Louisville vs. 7. Florida
For most of the game Florida had the lead but the Cardinalls of Louisville destroyed them down the stretch. They outscored Florida by 12 points in the second half which was enough to take the lead and later win the game. Chane Behanan had a nice game for Louisville with 17 points and 7 rebounds. Florida's turnover late in the game cost them a chance to play in the national championship. The final score was 72-68.
1. Syracuse vs. 2. Ohio State
This was the game where the lack of Fab Melo hurt the Orangemen. Jared Sullinger dominated the post with 19 points and 7 rebounds and was able to defend the big men of Syracuse. Scoop Jardine made an effort to keep Syracuse in it but they pulled him out for the last 4 minutes. Syracuse finally exits the tournament by a score of 77-70
1. Kentucky vs. 3. Baylor
Too much blue for the bears to handle. The wildcats beat up on Baylor, at one point they were leading by over 20 points but then decided to give them some points so they would not be emotionally drained. Anthony Davis had a double, double with 18 points and 11 rebounds. Kentucky post only had one problem and it was Quincy Acy who droped 22 points and 8 rebounds. Kentucky won by a final score of 82-70.
1. UNC vs. 2. Kansas
This game was fun to watch. Kansas wanted this game more than the Tar heels did and that is why they won the game. Thomas Robinson played inspired with 18 points and 9 rebounds with some suprising mid range jumpshots that fell for him. He was too quick for Tyler Zeller and Harrison Barnes could not get going for them. The lack of Kendall Marshall was felt in this one and that was one of the key reasons why UNC lost. Final score 80-67.
