3 of the Men's Final Four could be from the Pac-12. Not sure anyone outside of Bill Walton saw that coming.
 
Baylor vs. UConn is the elite 8 game to watch on the Women's side. USC vs. Gonzaga is the matchup to watch on the Men's side.
 
South Carolina didn't just beat Texas to make the Women's Final Four and didn't just blow them out, USC held UT scoreless in the 4th Quarter.
 
The Women's Final Four is set! They'll play Friday Night with the National Championship on Sunday Night, right as the Dinah Shore Classic Inspiration is wrapping up so for women's sports fans, Sunday's gonna be exciting.

Friday
6pm ET: South Carolina vs Stanford
8:30pm ET: Arizona vs UConn

3 of the 4 1 seeds are still going. Half of the remaining field is from the Pac-12.
 
The Men's Final Four has been set and all 4 teams are west of the Mississippi. Saturday will have the Final Four and the National Championship will be Monday Night.

Saturday
5:14pm ET: Houston vs Baylor
8:34pm ET: UCLA vs Gonzaga

UCLA joins 2011 VCU as a First Four team to make the Final Four. Houston and Baylor were once part of the Southwest Conference together. Gonzaga is undefeated and looking to be the first since 1976 Indiana to finish that way with the National title.
 
Roy Williams retires and Chris Beard leaves Texas Tech to coach Texas. Huge coaching news in the men's game.
 
The Bruins are the defending National Champions in Softball and Beach Volleyball.

I forgot about softball because 2020 made my brain hurt at that time. I understand beach volleyball exists but in such limited capacity that I just overlook it like I do aquatic sports. It's reserved for very wealthy schools.

Still I want UCLA to win based on the fact that for such a historic Basketball program, it's been a long drought
